Well since roses were my first love, I have to give two thumbs up to Peace. For as long as it's been around it still is such a beauty. I was looking at one of its offspring the other day at a nursery, "Love and Peace", and it was so pretty, you could see its heritage in its blended coloration.......I can see some form on London Calling, so I'm sure it will settle in later. My favorite is Northern Nocturn. Nice one......Maryl

Tobacco Horn Worm I havenÂt had a Tomato Hornworm on my tomatoes so far. My first tobacco hornworm this year was found June 12, 2008. It was the smallest hornworm I had ever seen. I get two stick and use them as chop sticks to take the hornworms off of my tomatoes. I had a lot of hornworms, but the wasps, and birds seem to have gotten the ones that I couldnÂt find. Hornworms are nothing compared to the cabbage loppers. See the photo of the Tobacco Hornworm that I had last year.
