  Beautiful photo! Isn’t it just amazing that there can be no other tomato plants for miles and they’ll still find them??!!

    Grace, it truly is amazing! I think next year I’m going to plant one tomato off by itself and just move the caterpillars with cocoons over to that plant. I have noticed they don’t seem to eat much after they’re infected, but they kinda gross me out as I look over the plants each day :-)

    I love the view on your blog! Lovely!
