| I have healthy tomato plants in two locations. One location, I see that the branches are broken off about 1 inch from the stalk and 12 inches or so up the stalk. This doesn't seem like cutworms. Could it be squirrels? I never had tomatoes attached by squirrels, but there is big family of them in my yard. Any ideas as to the problem and possible solutions? Reg |

| My guess would be more likely groundhogs or rabbits. Hard for squirrel to reach 12" up and while I have lots of squirrels they don't bother the plants until there is fruit on them. Deer eat the tops off the plants not the lower ones, Are the branches left there or are they gone or partially eaten? Dave |
