Anybody does vegetable gardening?

16. Could it be a Horn worm? They are notorious for getting on tomatoes.

If so, we plant a Datura (Jimsonweed) a few yards away from the garden. Although be careful, if you have children because it is poisonous. It serves as a "trap plant" and the horn worms will go there instead of the tomatoes. They turn into a beautiful moth (hummingbird moth) but can devastate a tomato plant.

If one does get on the tomato - then they are hard to find. I use a blacklight flashlight at night. In the dark they will glow under the blacklight and are easy to find. Otherwise we don't have many problems except for squash bugs. I make sure and rotate them every year and if they do get in the stem take a syringe and inject BT into the stem to kill it. Sometimes it works sometimes not. Can be very frustrating.
