I love gardening and I could say I am one of those gifted with a green thumb. Hubby was amazed how I can make the plants grow here in NM. I have ornamental plants and my mini garden box with different plants and herbs. I am lucky to find bitter gourd (bitter melon or amplaya) seeds in the oriental store but tomatoes are always present in my garden.
Anyhow, yesterday morning while doing my morning routine watering my plants I noticed that some tomato leaves are gone, I thought it fell when I was putting the stake so I ignored it. I was sprinkling water when suddenly I saw a green creature with dots clinging on the step. I found the culprit!
This little creature scares the hell out of me! I just can't explain but I am so afraid of them! A lot of my tomatoes were eaten in halves already. I was screaming and ran upstairs to wake hubby up, he could not understand me as I was yapping in tears. He said, pick 'em up baby! What???? Do you want me to pick up that worm? No way!!!!!! He said he'll take care of it but I could not wait I gotta get the tomato culprit! I got my shovel and the old swimming pool net to pick the cut worm.Oh we saw its companion too, this is not the only one he has a buddy! Hubby put them in a trash can and they were taken by the trash collector. Good for them! However, this morning to my disappointment many leaves were eaten again! It means there are more hiding in my tomatoes, you can hardly see them they are as green as my tomatoes.
what a shame! you little worm!!! invading someone's tomato plant..glad you find that and now you know...
ReplyDeleteYes sis, but my tomatoes are now bald and ugly! I gotta work in my garden today to make sure they are all gone.
