We just had a plant that had about 14 tomatoes on it. Very nice not yet a blush. Today they were all gone. No green pieces laying around that we could see. Hubby suspects 2 human varmits.

We are going to be pricing some motion sensor yard security type camera to try and see what’s going on.

I was able to verify that the damage to my sunflowers was not cut worms or 2 legged varmits, but slugs. Went out at midnight and found it. He’s dead. Will be putting out some containers of beer and spreading some DE about too.

Humans stealing green tomatoes.

My only thought when I read that was the movie ‘Fried Green Tomatoes’ ;) Game cameras might help. Keep us posted on the saga of the tomato thieves.

No tomatoes just yet at my house. Unusual for us, even though we were late getting them out.

Hopefully they’ll stop sulling soon. Plenty of blooms, just no maters...

I’m going to take pics of my rice blooms and pumpkin patch tomorrow morning.
