[tomato worm]

Found this critter in the garden while I was getting it ready for the winter. It is a tomato worm, one of the largest caterpillars in the US. Thanks to Karen and Nancy for helping me ID it. I also planted a few hundred garlic plants for next year. Most of those are the seed pods from the garlic that I had planted last year, the rest are from the remains of the best cloves that I had planned on using this year that khyla had attacked and tried to eat. In other news, the leaves all over are mostly covering the ground instead of our trees, and our goats are lonely now that their counterparts have left for the winter.
