			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was Mowing the yard today and as I rode by the garden I noticed the three tomato plants that lived thru the drought had the top 10 inches or so stripped of it&#8217;s leaves!</p>
<div id="attachment_180" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-180" title="Defoliated Tomatoes" src="http://home-grown-vegetables.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/defoliatedtoms1-300x225.jpg" alt="Tomato Plants Stripped of it's leaves" width="300" height="225" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Tomato Plants Stripped of it&#39;s leaves</p></div>
<p>As I Inspected further I found the culprit, Tomato Hornworms , and there was quite a few of them. The more I looked into the plant ,the more catapillars I saw.</p>
<div id="attachment_183" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-183" title="Tomato Hornworm" src="http://home-grown-vegetables.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/onthebush2-300x225.jpg" alt="Tomato Hornworm on the Vine" width="300" height="225" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Tomato Hornworm on the Vine</p></div>
<div id="attachment_184" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-184" title="Tomato Hornworm " src="http://home-grown-vegetables.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/onthebush-300x225.jpg" alt="Another one on the bush" width="300" height="225" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Another one on the bush</p></div>
<p>They are colorful bugs, but they sure can do some damage, I was just looking at the tomatoes day before yesterday and I didn&#8217;t have any damage then, They work fast!</p>
<div id="attachment_185" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-185" title="Tomato Hornworm (Manduca quinquemaculata)" src="http://home-grown-vegetables.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/tomatohornworms2-300x164.jpg" alt="I pulled these off the plants, the chickens get them after the photo session." width="300" height="164" /><p class="wp-caption-text">I pulled these off the plants, the chickens get them after the photo session.</p></div>
<p>So now I&#8217;m off to the web to find the best way to deal with these green devils, I will fill you in with the research when I find it,  Till then &#8230;Good Gardening to ya!</p>
