Got Him !!!

Something has been eating my tomatoes--all summer!! It prefers the Stripe Heirlooms, and the Ananas Noire-which I do too. I blamed it on turtles, first-but who has a herd of Turtles??
Yesterday, my trap worked--caught a huge grandaddy ' possum! still had tomatoes around his mouth. Hope he enjoyed the last one he ate.

And-another one this morning!! Everyone wondering what's eating their tomatoes, might consider these varmints...

You gonna make a stew? They have been fed on your maters all summer..the possums are kinda homegrown. I can eat alot o things..but I don't know if I could do possum. I wonder if that is what is getting mine.I keep geting bites taken out of the lower hanging one as soon as they get a little red on them.. I am still thinking turtle..but could be possum. Whatever it is doesn't get te whole thing..just a few bites and then sucks out the juicy part.

Any tracks?

Does the culprit leave any tracks at all?

You might dust some flour in your garden to see if that help them leave tracks.
