So I’ll be skipping breakfast and going straight to the garden. Found tomato hornworm in my dill trap crop just as I was leaving last night. Destroyed what I saw but need to dust all tomatoes with diatomaceous earth before the heat wave comes in at 12.

By the time I found them, they had destroyed my lettuce crop; also broccoli. All small plants so no biggie.

When I get back, however, I will happily dive in to last night’s leftover tacos. Pineapple salsa. Yum..
