New Tomatoes cut off: What did it?
In my area, it is usually the work of cutworms. They are fairly
prevalent in my soil. I always wrap some aluminum foil around the
bases of my tomato and pepper transplants.

I lose a couple of plants every year the exact same way.
It happens at night. I sprinkle a wide swath of cayenne pepper around the
perimeter of the garden. Don't know for sure if it helps but the damage seems
to stop. I get the real cheap stuff from a local closeout store, big container,
$1.50.
