Balcony Garden: Harvest Monday #50

Ah, the telltale sign that there's an unwelcome visitor to the Balcony Garden. Caterpillar Poo.


The sight of caterpillar poo is enough to strike fear into the hearts of most gardeners (it also fills me with RAGE)!

Why?

Because where there is poop there are caterpillars.  And where there are caterpillars there are bound to be vegetables with chomp marks all over them.


A quick look over my tomato plants reveals the moment I've been dreading! Budworms...chomping on my precious tomatoes. And added to that I've found a tomato (just one at this stage) with blossom-end rot.



It's the beginning of the end...
