Creepy crawlers

Our garden has been doing great so far- look has much it's grown since March! The zucchini plants are threatening to take over tomatoes and squash.


This weekend we discovered 3 unwelcome caterpillars on one of our tomato plants: 2 on Saturday and 1 on Sunday. They were monsters (each about 5 inches long) and had been chowing down on our tomato leaves.

Hopefully we found them before they did too much damage.

Update: we found 2 more of these creepy crawlers and discovered they are cutworms, a common agricultural pest. Our garden had now been sprayed.

Our zucchini have been doing awesome. We've picked about 8 so far. I need to find some new recipes to use it up. So far I've tried delicious Zucchini Grinders and next on my list is Zucchini Bread.
