Hi everyone!
So lately my mom has been noticing that some of her underripe tomatoes were partially eaten. We thought it was a squirrel and so we put some netting on the plants. Well, today I discovered that is was not a squirrel but in fact a tobacco hornworm. So I've decided that I'm going to keep it. Unfortunately, my mom won't give up her tomato leaves for it to eat. I read that they eat potato leaves, but we only have one potato plant, so... I will be able to give it the two underripe tomatoes that it didn't completely eat, but after that could anyone tell me what else these eat? I know of one tomato plant from which I can use the leaves if I'm desperate, but I'd rather have something else to feed it. Anything is an option, I can always go to the garden center and buy something.
Thanks,
Wolfie
