Haha no but I swear my squirrels are stealing them!! Mesh bags to fit loosely over the tomatoes has worked for me

I swear this rabbit in the neighborhood stole my first ripened cherry tomato of the season. So pissed right now!!! 😤

Rabbits can't reach mine, but deer certainly like them

The thieves at my house are squirrels and birds. And they are jerks about it, taking little nibbles from multiple fruit.

I’ve pretty much come to terms with the fact that my garden is primarily for wildlife and I get the leavings ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
