I cannot tell a lie. I've been eating them. And thank you for putting them in an accessible place. :-)

We get the hornworms every season, they will decimate tomatoes in 48 hours if you don't pick them off the plants. This year, instead of losing most of my tomatoes, I just picked them green and they ripened indoors and they still taste good.

Yep that's my take as well.  I have little to no lawn so I had a patio container garden this year and it started out great - but between the landscaping ppl here (they mow, weed wack but then someone comes behind with a leaf blower and cleans off the loose grass) - well the leaf blower guy would blow all my pots off the patio!  I swear they were doing it to be funny - someone told me next year to put a half brick in the bottom or rocks so they would be too heavy.  I just shook my head and said - "nope - the farmer's market is too close and has tons of stuff!"
