What kind of worm?
-
Patty S on Sep 05, 2014Sounds like the fungus, "Early Blight" instead of a worm. This fungus is hard to kill. It will appear yearly unless you sterilize the soil. Spray the plants and leaves with a solution of Hydrogen peroxide and water. 1 part H202 to 2 parts H20. After removing the plants from your garden, wearing rubber gloves and don't let them or your hands touch anything else, spray your soil with this solution. Next year when planting put grass clippings or straw around each plant immediately when planting. This keeps the dirt from splashing up on your plants when being watered. Good luck. I have had it. It is a real disappointment when this happens.Helpful Reply

Mspeppercorn on Jan 20, 2016Not a worm. It is a caterpillar but not sure what kind, the picture is a little hard to see. Maybe a tomato hornworm.Helpful Reply

MSKMGR on Jan 21, 2016Yes, it is a horned tomato worm. Manually pull them off, place in a ziplock bag and seal. If you see white sacks on the worm, they are the larva of the Braconid Wasp and will eat the worm. Leave the worm alone if it has the larva attached.Helpful Reply
