If the tomatoes are low to the ground it could be box turtles.  We've lost many low hanging fruit to them earlier this season.

For squirrels we've used a blow gun with pellets.  Doesn't harm them, only scares the wits of the the little buggars!

Or chipmunks.  Crazy numbers in WMA this year.  They take bites out of tomatoes, fruits of all kinds.

Best wishes,

After being away for a couple of days, I harvested tomatoes and noticed that a number had been eaten, bites out of the sides of ripe ones. Has anyone heard of squirrels eating tomatoes? Also, at the same times, a number of sunflower blossoms have vanished. We don’t have vandals, so am wondering if it is being done by squirrels, too. I’ve seen a few in the garden recently. Any help will be good, also solutions, please.
