Look out for caterpillars on your tomatoes

[MarkPelican]

I was fumbling through my tomatoes this morning (as one does) and discovered some caterpillars beginning to do their worst. If like me you forgot to put a net over the doorway to your greenhouse, they're obviously about already. I don't normally expect them so soon.

I grow outdoors and I've already started looking for them and eggs. So far only one clutch of eggs, but it takes a while to check.

I grow outdoors too,seen loads of moths at night,there's bound to be problems soon but I haven't noticed yet,I'll have a look thanks!

I've never had them on our Toms

I've had them in my friend's greenhouse, but not on outdoor toms.

I've never seen a caterpillar on a Tomato plant

^^^Neither have I but I'm going to check them out! Thanks for the warning.

Ive had them once outside on a container plant,I saw the white egg cluster on the underside of a leaf & didn't know what they'd turn into,kept an eye on them,they hatched into about twenty hungry caterpillars,tiny little things but they eat quite fast!

I must check on mine. Never had any before, but there's always a first time
