I've got Good News and Bad News. Good News? I dug some of my taters and they are fabulous! German Butterball and Red Norland:

Bad News? I picked cherry tomatoes today and my 'Sungold' tomato plant has evidence of Tomato Horn Worm chewing - but I could NOT find the worm! Grrrrr! Now I'm totally grossed out. :( I looked at ALL the other tomato plants (34 of them!) and no others have been hit as of today.

I have been told that tomato hornworms glow under black light. Haven’t tested that yet, since I haven’t seen any signs they’re in my garden, but I did get a blacklight flashlight just for hunting them with!
