I found a huge green caterpillar on my tomato plant. It was green full of my tomato leaves. Those flowers of those future tomatoes, were supposed to feed me this summer/fall. I lost some big beef tomatoes bc if it. Nevertheless, I didn't kill it, thinking; it would turn into a beautiful butterfly, my favorite insect. In this article I learned the truth...it will turn into a moth. Don't like moths. Anyway, I broke the branch and threw it outside of my property. After that experience, I took the tomato plants and house them into my little green house. The green house has a window which I leave open for ventilation. Is there a chance that a moth will get at my Peppers and Tomatoes there too? I have planted basil, dill (young onions) and Rosemary and also a pot of lavender. Will those herbs/plant keep pests away?
