    In my haste to pick tomatoes, as well as removing more leaves, as well as greedily eating them I ate a small green caterpillar. Knew it immediately....the taste and the burning on my tongue. Still have that sensation on the tip of my tongue.
    Lots of water and mouth rinsing later I’m still well aware of my undue haste and it’s effects:sad:
    You may think your tomato plants are healthily producing delicious fruit but so do the little critters there

        Bit of protein hurt know one @Verdun :thumbsup:

        Many a time I have bitten into a plum and had those results...only one thing worse than finding a critter in what you've grown and that's half a critter you've found in whats left.:blue thumb:

          I was already to say how we probably eat more protein than we should anyway thinking a new variety had been produced, but that was funny.
          Let us know if your tongue falls off :roflol:
