The start of taking out tomato plants. I hate doing that when frost hits.
Still tomatoes.
Good one, Philip. Got me laughing.
Cayuga, we worked on the creek-bank for about at least 25 years, sifting out rocks, improving the soil, fighting critters, finally turning much...
LOL Philip, you gave me a great chuckle. Poor thief, I can just imagine.
No Cayuga, just two legged critters, I assume. The missing fruit was growing rather high on the vine and the plant would have shown some...
Marlin, I love the bear trap idea, LOL but the problem is which neighbor? I live in a Trailer Park and have several neighbors.

I rooted one sucker, potted it for my neighbor who is unable to do her own these days. The plant had a small tomato already when I gave it to her....
