Raccoons

Hi, folks. So I'm out on my early morning tour of the garden and see a couple young raccoons scoping out the place. Later on I hear my schmoozy pitbull, Miss Jenny, barking furiously at a raccoon sitting up on a high fence, the raccoon hissing and spitting in reply. I remember having had raccoons years ago, especially one morning coming out onto a screened porch that had a cat port: I was staggered to see the destruction and all for the sake of the contents of a cat litter box. My question: Should I be concerned about impending danger to my 90 tomato plants, some of which are starting to set fruit? (I know I need to be careful about the dog). TIA, Gary.
