I have rodent and bird problems in my garden, but they don't usually take the whole thing. I usually find just one bite out of a tomato, and not just one tomato, but lots of them. Rotten little beasts. You'd think they could finish the one they started.

Marti I know what you mean. I looked all around to see remnants. Not a bit. At first I thought they had fallen off, but nothing on the ground or hanging from the plant. Very mysterious indeed. But stranger things are keeping me entertained, I have a parakeet living in my trees. He's been here since July 8th!

I thought of you the other day. I talked to my mom who had an eggplant just about ready to pick. She went out one morning and it was gone. She thinks it was a squirrel. She's got one eggplant left and is going to put a ziplock bag on it and see if the squirrel will leave it alone.

Thank you for the update. I'll bet the ziplock does the trick!
