Looks like Jeremy had a close encounter with nature's sneaky little garden pest!πŸ› Tomato hornworms really are experts at camouflage, and their voracious appetites can wreak havoc on gardens before you even notice they're there. Luckily, these caterpillars are fairly easy to manage once spotted.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Here are some tips for dealing with hornworms:

1) Handpick and Remove: They’re large enough to pluck off your plants, although gloves might come in handy.
2) Encourage Natural Predators: Birds and parasitic wasps love feasting on hornworms, especially if you let nature take its course.
3) Companion Planting: Growing marigolds, basil, or dill nearby can help deter hornworms.
4) Inspect at Dusk or Dawn: They’re easiest to spot when they’re active in low light.
5) Pesticide: A natural pesticide that specifically targets caterpillars.

The fruit of Cornus kousa, also known as kousa dogwood, is a small, round drupe with a bright red to pink hue. Ripening in late summer to fall, it's not only ornamental but also edible, with a sweet, tropical flavor often compared to persimmons or mangoes. A favorite of birds and wildlife!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
