The fun part about tomatoes in the bog is that they attracted lots of hummingbird moths. And the hummingbird moths attracted frogs. We enjoyed watching the frogs hunt the moths. Like The Wild Kingdom right in the backyard! (Sorry - they are grown up tomato hornworms. I enjoyed seeing them get eaten! haha!!

Oooo! I didn't know hummingbird moths began as hornworms. Hornworms are a gorgeous color, but other than that -- Ewwwwww! So giant and gross.

They really are! I had an elderly neighbor who was convinced she had a whole flock of baby hummingbirds in her yard. I started to enlighten her and then saw how enchanted she was at the idea of baby hummingbirds, so I just shut my mouth!

That's adorable! My mother in law was convinced she had been visited by a dead relative in the form of a hummingbird after dark. It kept bumping into the window as it was flitting around her window box full of flowers. I didn't burst her bubble either!
