Dear Tomato Chomper,Please leave my tomato plants alone. I do not think highly of you, frankly, I do not even like you. You seem to be doing nothing good in my garden. Unfortunately, if and when I find you, you will be eliminated immediately. I have already rid my garden of 10 of your thick, yucky relatives. I am just giving you advance warning as this is your chance to get away before I do away with you myself. Plus, you are making my girls very unhappy because they love their tomatoes. I have strict orders from them to do all I can to save their precious tomatoes and that is what I intend to do.
Sincerely,
Ruby
Awww… so sad…
Aww, I love hornworms! They grow into Sphinx moths, which are stunning. I'm pretty sure they only munch the leaves, though, and it could be something else getting into the fruit…? Good luck!
Those lil buggers are eating up your plants!!!!!!!!! The lil buggers at my house are eating up my legs.
I know! Such a bummer. Leafminers in our beets and chard leaves…slugs in our cabbage earlier this year…
I should leave a pile of scraps as a peace offering. Wonder if the pests would go for that.
oh yucky!!!yes make them go away!!! maybe marrigolds will chase them out of the garden?
Awwww…….that's so unfair! We have ground squirrels that come chomp on our tomaters……..it is soooo rude! They take one bite and leave the rest. YUCK!
hes a super chomper!!! don't fret, you had more lovely tomatoes than me this year.
Our Hornworms eat the stalks, the leaves, and occasionally the fruit. They also like Potato plants. Sorry for your losses. I feed the hornworms I pull off to my chickens. They think they're candy!
Yikes! That happened to me last year! I moved this year and the plants were fine from chompers but I only got a couple of tomatoes because it rains for like a month straight!
oh no. get him!!
this letter was hilarious, by the way.
ok… seriously gross! Make them go away… how do you do that??!?
Disheartening isn't it? I hope you find him and others of his kind and put a stop to this unacceptable behaviour 🙂
ugh! That must make you SO frustrated! I'm sorry! 🙁
my neighbor read to cook garlic in a pot of water, let it cool, and put it in a spray bottle and spray them..not sure if it worked but you would be ready for spaghetti sauce if not 😀
I hope they can read. Did you print it out or have you put the computer screen just near the plants?
That thing looks HUGE. Hope you can get rid of this one and the rest…:)
Oh them was yours girl? I'm sorry. I was hungry and Rondell was having herself a midnight snack attack.
that is HUGE! I would imagine, if you left the letter out for him to read…he would chomp a hole through it. Perhaps that will fill him up?

thanks for all the advice!!! i think i have rid of all of them (at least for now!)…
