Q. Birds are eating my tomatoes. They start with the ripe ones and then go to the green ones. The plant in one area was completely eaten of all fruit in less than a week - 50 tomatoes or more.
My second plant has just started to get eaten. It is in a different location. The first plant was a "Big Boy" and the current one is a "Better Boy." Please help me to save my crop. I have at least 100 tomatoes on my remaining plant. What can I do to prevent bird damage on tomatoes?
A. Sorry that birds are eating your tomatoes!
Birds often start feasting on tomatoes just as the fruit starts ripening (as you've discovered). Unfortunately, by the time you notice, they've munched their way through part of your crop. Check out these options to protect your crop.
