I just posted how proud I was of our little tomato plant and the small cherry tomatoes that my son and I had grown, when today my son went to check on the tomatoes and saw two huge bites taken from them!
We are in shock.
Dismay.
How could this happen to our darling little plant?
Here’s the photographic evidence:
This last photo is a bit blurry because I was focused on my son’s hand, but you can get the sense of the size of the bite from this tomato.
Lesson learned: We need to put something around the plant to keep critters away. I’ve got a CSI team investigating the crime.
