Thought about it! .

Rain from the hurricane arrived yesterday afternoon and expected to depart by Tuesday morning. At least so far it's been a gentle rain and not stormy... and we were very dry.

We had rain this morning too. We sure need it! Supposed to get more tonight and the next few days.

We got clouds from the hurricane. At least it's cooler.

The last hurricane that came through MO was about 6 weeks ago. It did very little at my house but in Kirkwood, about 20 miles south of here it was so windy, it took a tree down where my son works, and it fell right on his car.
I'm not sure if it is because of the way people have been driving since the start of the pandemic but all the body shops his insurance company told him to call explained it would be over 2 months before they could get him in and they were so busy they had no room for any more cars.

I've picked about 70 tomato horn worms in the past 2 weeks. 9 tonight. The blacklight is a wonder, but this is getting ridiculous.

Better than a black light is Bacillus Thuringiensis or BT, just don't breathe the spray or you're in for a week of being very sick.

Edit: Don't spray BT when it's windy only when it's calm.

I’ve only seen 1 tomato horn worm this summer and it was out at the Farm garden. I haven’t seen any at my house. I have an in ground garden and a raised bed garden at my house. At the farm garden I have 7 raised bed gardens.

I've actually never seen a tomato horn worm they are always tobacco horn worms here.
