Perched on a tomato cage. I glared at the bird (after I took the photo) to impress upon her that birds are fed in a different zone of the backyard. This area is MY feeding zone. so don't be eating my tomatoes. I had three little tomatoes almost ripe, then two, and today only one was left. But I suspect it was a chipmunk or squirrel as the tomato was completely taken and not just pecked.
Ha ha, you glared? Been taking lessons from Paddington Bear? He is the master of the hard stare. Maybe if you fed the goldfinch a marmalade sandwich, he would leave your tomatoes alone! Handsome bird.
@pamknowler@koalagardens@casablanca@kvphoto@haskar@gosia -- As you can see, there are cages around each plant and a fence around he whole garden and they are not deterring any critter from getting in. I suspect it's not the birds, though, as none of my tomatoes have holes in them. Instead, the tomato thief takes the entire tomato -- small ones -- so I suspect it's a chipmunk or maybe squirrel. And they steal my tiny squashes before they can grow very big! But @casablanca -- marmalade sandwiches! I should have learned from Paddington, too! Thanks for stopping by and making a comment on this -- and so many others.
