Besides birds... what eats tomatoes? Were not like this last evening. Never saw a rabbit eat a mater but kinda looks like it?

Squirrels, chipmunks

Squirrels, chipmunks

Too high off the ground without breaking the vine for squirrel. Too much eaten for a monk's cheeks and belly. But I suppose possible! Have not seen one since i took care of a few in June.

I take that back... the one vine was previously damaged. Could have weighed it down without new damage. Squirrel is possible

Them big old caterpillars can do some damage but them look like an animal. Skunk, racoon, woodchuck. May be time for a camera.

I had a big ol woodchuck under the deck a few years ago. He has since passed on... Will have to check around the fence for evidence of entry. Maybe I will set up a camera for a few days.

The good old days nearly 10 yrs ago. I miss that bucket. Must have blown out of the boat. Even had a padded lid. Simple things lol

Very cool what wasps do! I ain't got no grenade shaped turds around the plants. A few years back I let the worms get big. It's odd, but I don't get them very often. Every 4 or 5 yrs I'd say.

Just about everything it seems. Something is eating my fully green ones.

I've had birds, mice, chipmunks, hornworm... none really appeared like this. Maybe it's the neighbor lady lol

When I left the gate open a couple weeks back, that exactly what they looked like. You're 100% sure deer can't intrude?

Like the old saying when pigs fly...

I'm positive there has not been a deer in my vinyl fenced yard in the middle of a sub.

Last year we only wanted one cabbiage plant, so planting just one was the plan. We planned to harvest it after a weekend trip. When we returned the plant had been half devoured. Caged and no sign of entry.

Later that morning we noticed several starlings were pecking it. Like I didn't already hate starlings. Only thing they touched.

My pest is a woodchuck. Found the access point and then I saw him this morning. I had him in the crosshairs of the .22 cal springer and was squeezing when something spooked it. It's a young one a little larger than a fat squirrel.
