I still have a hard time eating tomatos after seeing these nasty beasties on my plants! Does anyone know of a way to "dust" for them safely? (I know, dust and safe are not usually used in the same sentence) but seriously, what is the point of growing tomatos if you can't eat them!!!Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05884686565301210956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-687517259139577562.post-64438423733233419332010-02-28T20:24:19.189-05:002010-02-28T20:24:19.189-05:00There's alot of nasty bugs I can deal with - Tomat...There's alot of nasty bugs I can deal with - Tomato worms no.

When I do find them I relocate them to "wild" tomato plants in my compost. I know not a great practice but I guess it balances out.Carlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-687517259139577562.post-71858625134232683272009-11-04T08:32:07.172-05:002009-11-04T08:32:07.172-05:00We have a Black Lab who walks the tomato rows, sme...We have a Black Lab who walks the tomato rows, smelling for hornworms, and then (yuck) pulls them off and eats them!
