When I walked outside this morning, I was greeted with a horrendous sight. The garden has been breached. What are we to do?
All kidding aside. This happens in the garden and seems to happen a lot in my garden. I plan for this by planting a few extra tomato plants. I don't mind sharing the bounty with the critters we share land with. There is more than enough to go around. Not sure why they picked a green one instead of a riper one. More power to them. They probably have been eating green tomatoes from the yard for years and have developed a taste for the green.
I thought this might not happen as much with the garden in the front, since the garden in back is much more wild. If it gets bad, we just pick tomatoes a little earlier than normal. A few years ago, during a severe drought, the garden was pillaged more than normal. We just gave the garden to the animals that year. The garden was in bad shape anyways, something should take advantage of it.
I am fine with the occasional theft.......as long as they don't touch my pepper plants. Which luckily, they never seem to touch. Hot or sweet.
