10 Tomato Plants Vanished

Farmette · May 31, 2011

Really...what was I thinking. I have 20 tomatoes planted in raised beds. Put up a temporary 3 foot rabbit fence around them...the deer have never bothered unfenced tomatoes in past years. Planted the last 10 tomatoes in the one bed not yet fenced. Went out of town and boarded the dogs for one night. I told my husband that I was worried that the plants would get eaten because the dogs were gone and the deer would know it. He said...are you serious??? Came back yesterday and sure enough, the ten plants are gone..only a shred or two of leaves left on the ground.
Now, I am worried that they might jump the short fence since they have gotten a taste of whats in there.
