Someone, or something is taking my tomatoes at night

That's the only thing I could think of too. I haven't seen a coon around here for years, but I have seen a possum at night once in a while. Maybe it's a young one?? If it's a possum then that little chicken wire fence I just made to wrap around the plants isn't going to do it. They'll climb over the fence and get right into it. Sneaky little varmints - that last tomato wasn't even ready yet...

That's a pig for you! No red, no camera for that.............but I do kinda wish I had one. Even just to take a peek at what goes on at night around here. Some nights I hear strange sounds - I'd love to see some nature action in my backyard.

Are you sure you're sure? It might be the neighbors after all

Hi! My poor old chickens just got blamed for eating half of a knee-high ripe tomato growing through the garden fence. I KNEW no chickens had been up there *lately* and threatening them was unnecessary.
HA! I caught a squirrel eating another tomato the very next morning just at daylight.
I hope you catch your 'tomato thief' soon.

Last year my new pear trees had about a dozen pears. Just as they were getting big, all of them disappeared at the same time. Not a leaf out of place. Since it was such a little tree I knew it had to be either a person (unlikely) or something small. I have since discovered that squirrels will take them.
