Now THAT is spooky!

We saw this Tomato Hornworm this week on Dan's pepper plant.  Look just below the big pepper, and you can see the worm.  You can even see the horn.  
 
You can also see that he has eaten all the leaves, and some of the peppers.  That's how I knew to search for it, seeing all the chewage.
 
This worm is about the size of my index finger!!!  And when I see them in my garden, I pick them off and squish them.  BUT.....we plant Borage near the tomatoes and peppers, because it deters the hornworms.  We haven't had any this year!!!  
 
I guess they're happy eating Dan's peppers.  YAAAAK!!!
 
HAPPY GARDENING!!!
