What’s going on in your garden (2025)?

Is it just me or do those green caterpillar things look a bit edible?!
You could eat them... They're full of tomato plant leaves so probably bitter, lots of alkaloids. Tomato plants are in the nightshade family but you'd have to eat *lots* of the plant to be affected.

Someone else might have input on eating caterpillars.

Depends if you have any kidney issues then they're not your friend!
