My tomato garden is fenced with bird netting which is held down with aluminum poles. This keeps out the big critters, but apparently something small (I suspect a rabbit) got into the garden and gnawed on a few tomatoes. I enclosed my ripening tomatoes in net bags (like the ones onions come in) and sprayed with liquid fence and the critter ATE THROUGH THE BAGS AND TOOK MY RIPE TOMATOES.
It hasn't been a huge loss so far...the tomatoes are just starting to ripen...but what can I possibly do to keep this evil varmint away from my tomatoes short of enclosing each tomato in a steel cage?????
AAAGGHH!!
(Sorry...between the deer, the woodchuck, and the blight, it's been a frustrating tomato year!)
Thanks
