Gah! Thanks for mentioning these guys in the doctor’s comments, Dan R.! Seriously, thanks. I probably wouldn’t have been looking for them otherwise. Well, actually I wasn’t – I had just sat down for a minute to get a drink, looked over and saw him. Then of course had to find all the little ones too.
Sigh. First goldens and rats in the back garden, and now these guys in my front planters. At least I managed to snag a couple more ripe grape tomatoes for myself today!

Yum. We’ve got some great tomatoes growing and no worms — yet.
When my middle daughter was about 3 I was walking with her down the sidewalk when I noticed just such a worm. I pointed it out to her and she leaned way over to get a good look at it. She stood up abruptly and smashed her foot upon it, dragging it back along the sidewalk. She looked up at me and grinned. Her tomato growing grandmother had obviously instructed her well in how to deal with such animals. I was stunned. 🙂
