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!

Thanks, I will start cutting them back some. I do have another batch of Green maters closer to the ground. I think those horn worms are so beautiful, I save them for fishing bait. The hatched moths are really cool too. They are about the size of a hummingbird. I seen them pollinating my orka too.
My Okra is over 6’ tall and still growing.
