I had to be out of town for a week. Get home, knowing I will have some ripe tomatoes low on the plant. NOT. Something has eating the inside, and all that is left is a shell. Could this be crows? Crows have gotten my corn two times. Any ideas or help out there.??

It could be chipmunks or maybe you next door neighbors.

I have seen chipmunks but pretty far away from the garden area. As for neighbors LOL.

Could be any number of animals including birds. I have had excellent results using this; http://www.liquidfence.com/

You can locate it at Home Depot, Lowes or any garden center.

Crows will!

Scarecrow, netting or lead poisoning

Brother Dave, love the lead poisoning. I do have a scarecrow waiting for its place in the garden, time to dress it and place it. Last year I used a male version and he wouldn't do any work, this year I will try a female version and Im sure she will work. LOL
