I think my tomatoes are pretty much done for the season. It’s been a battle against blight, and I’ve accepted that it’s time to clear out the bed. But as I was pulling plants today, I had a first in all my years of gardening — I found not one, but two tomato hornworms!

One of them was covered in what looked like wasp eggs (nature taking care of business), and the other was just hanging on for dear life. I decided not to kill the lone survivor. Instead, I’m going to wait and see if it blossoms into the hawk moth (beneficial to gardens). Sometimes the garden still has surprises to offer, even at the end of a season.
