Gardeners in the Asylum

So my wife has been sick for a while and we have spent the last few nights in the hospital. She is on track for a full recovery and she should be able to go home on Sunday. I got to come home for the first time today and there was a lot going on in the garden. It has been rainy off and on for about a week now so everything has doubled in size in no time. My cucs have flowers in full bloom and tomatoes are full of greens and flowers. My carrots that I planted last week in containers have come up, I will have to thin them out next week. But some other things started growing too. In the tomatoes I noticed some leaf spots on a few plants and some big fat Caterpillars feasting on every leaf and green tomato they could get their mouth on. I went ahead and sprayed fungicide and seven on everything. I checked the garden about an hour later and I found 6 more caterpillars all on the ground. If I would have waited another couple of days I would have had a big big loss on the tomatoes.
