Invasion!

I have been invaded by these huge bloated little buggers. Caterpillars have made their home on my tomatoes.

I was not alarmed by the few holey leaves I was seeing here and there and when I discovered that it was caterpillars causing the damage to the leaves I removed them quickly. I am trying to stay organic so I am not using pesticides however I did "Google" for a few organic options including a garlic spray.

But apparently I may have waited to long, in just a matter of 2 days my plants have become bare.

The little buggers have become huge which makes them a lot easier to find but they are a lot hungrier.

They are now eating my tomatoes.
