Oh, can I relate! I just lost two gorgeous tomato plants -- gorgeous until the caterpillars got to them. I thought it was a freak heat wave doing them in but then I found the culprits chewing through my ripening heirloom tomatoes. And, of course, I pulled them and am trying again, this time with an organic caterpillar repellent. Then there are the snails, the grasshoppers and Benny, my own cat, who seems to find sport in digging up my dwarf meyer lemon, lime and mandarin orange trees. It’s rough out there!
