We could even see them running around with them and eating them. It was quite infuriating. We ended up putting netting around the plants and that (mostly) helped keep them away.

So if you have your tomato plants in an area that you can leave a perimeter of tall-ish grass they should stay out.

She has also taken it upon her self to dub the strangers she sees on a regular basis with nicknames. So far my favourite is when she said "I call him naked boy" when she saw a guy walking with no shirt on past her house eveeryday. haha! It seems like she is just a few months younger than your daughter so it's fun to see how they age in both similar and different ways :)<br /><br />www.whimsydarling.comAlexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04128997273396743839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-727879929849914482.post-20167088896872088122013-07-18T07:49:04.674-05:002013-07-18T07:49:04.674-05:00When birds pick at my newly planted flowers, I alw...When birds pick at my newly planted flowers, I always stick a rubber snack in the garden and it always keeps them away!<br /><br /><a href="http://vintageamoreblog.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Vintage Amore</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00129367653711306709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-727879929849914482.post-40248008966348311252013-07-18T07:31:59.127-05:002013-07-18T07:31:59.127-05:00I keep deer and bunnies out of my garden by sprink...I keep deer and bunnies out of my garden by sprinkling hair clippings around the plant and the edge of the garden.
