I pulled a zucchini of the plant last night and when I cooked it, I discovered that the green skin was hard as plastic. The inside seemed okay so was wondering what caused this?

I don't know that it will prevent them. But it will kill them. It's suffocates them. That said I wouldn't spray oils and or soaps and leave them on very long in this heat. I would spray the plants down with Bt at dusk. The hornworms will eat it when they feed at night and it will kill them. And you can leave it on the plants and it won't burn them. The Bt will only last about a day or so. It breaks down very quickly when exposed to sunlight.

It will run them off the plant. Control is the best plan as opposed to trying to eradicate them. The hummingbird moth they become is pretty cool and is a pollinator.

I went with seed starting inside. I went with Florida 91 which I started yesterday. Hoping they germ quickly and I can transplant them in a couple/few weeks. Per my research they are one of the best heat tomatoes. It's a big tomato and can supposedly handle this heat. They have a heat set hormone. We'll see.
I also bought Zac's big hybrid. It's supposed to produce 3lb avg and up to 6lb. I couldn't pass that up to try. I think they were produced in the upper east so they won't handle this heat. So I will start these late July indoors with a late August transplant timeline.
