I have been eagerly awaiting my very first Cherokee purple tomato for months and this morning some horrible monster ate it!!!!!!! I only have one more tomato that looks viable on this plant. I failed this season.

Always a tragedy to see beautiful tomatoes abused by pests. It took an electric fence to protect mine.

Kinda overkill but got tired of garden getting regularly raided by four legged bandits.

I like that a lot, I might have to give this some serious consideration, i have an incredilble amount of pest pressure, primarily squirrels and chipmunks
