               I had to be out of town for a week.  Get home, knowing I will have some ripe tomatoes low on the plant.  NOT.  Something has eating the inside, and all that is left is a shell.  Could this be crows?  Crows have gotten my corn two times.  Any ideas or help out there.??

               It could be chipmunks or maybe you next door neighbors.

               I have seen chipmunks but pretty far away from the garden area.  As for neighbors  LOL.

               Could be any number of animals including birds. I have had excellent results using this; http://www.liquidfence.com/
  You can locate it at Home Depot, Lowes or any garden center.

               Brother Dave, love the lead poisoning.  I do have a scarecrow waiting for its place in the garden, time to dress it and place it.  Last year I used a male version and he wouldn't do any work, this year I will try a female version and Im sure she will work.  LOL
