But now there's a munch problem! There is no sign of tomato hornworms and these are not bird peck holes so it must be a varmint of some kind. Do any of you have a guess? Squirrels? Rodents? Possums? Raccoons? I don't think it's deer. These tomatoes were on the lower branches.





Now I need to go look at the popcorn bed. Pickles just informed me that the raccoons had a big party there last night. It might be time to do a late night vigil with the shotgun.

I’ve had the same thing happen and the culprit was a raccoon…

I have had all of the above as well as baby rabbits eat my greenies. With the size of the bite marks I would guess something like an opossum or racoon.

This is a Regular occurrence here in my garden. It's the reason for my early harvesting. It's very possibly all the above. Physical barriers and removal are the best options.
