I made a gallon of salasa with some of my tomato crop. Question, my tomato plants are getting the leaves eaten down by tomato worms and grass hoppers. Should I cut the leafless stems off or leave them? Will they grow new leaves?

You can cut those leafless stems off. Hopefully you’ll still have ripening tomatoes at this point.

What’s eating your plants to the nub are those horn worms. Evil critters! Kill them when you see them!
