HI all-

I planted two tomato plants in my container, and I used some plastic
wiring to wrap around the plants , yes, both side and top. I don't
understand why my riped tomatoe keeps dissapearing??!!! At first i
thought it was the birds, that's why I added the cage, and then now
even with the cage??
The entire tomato is gone, not eaten bits and pieces by say like a
hornworm. I'm puzzled. Please help!


Any neighbors? LOL


Chaz, my thoughts exactly!

Faye, you need one of these:

I actually resorted to buying one of these. One evening, several
years ago now, a bear wondered into town and ended up eating 90% of
my sweet corn in a single meal. (2 weeks later someone told me they
saw a bear on the street that night. Until then I was wondering just
how many raccoons had raided my corn and why they never came back.)

The bear never returned but now deer have come into town and
sometimes my yard. I have put it out when I had some bad neighbors
move in across the street. (I guess they didn't like vegetables though.)

When I use it, I place the sensor at the most natural entry way into
my garden. I place it about 18 inches above the ground and it tells
me if a person, deer, dog, or even raccoon enters my yard at that point.
