But Peter, who was very naughty...

...ran straight away to Mr. McGregor's garden, and squeezed under the gate! First he ate some lettuces and some French beans; and then he ate some TOMATOES... (Beatrix Potter, The Tale of Peter Rabbit).

Actually he ate some radishes but my garden pest is mutilating my tomatoes.



My "Patio Princess" has a bunch of ripe, half-eaten cherry tomatoes still hanging on the vine. What kind of culprit goes to the trouble of getting into the pot but doesn't eat the whole tomato?

This kind of culprit.



How did I not notice my 10-month-old eating oodles of my tomatoes straight off the vine? I guess I am "that" kind of mother!



I should probably take his jacket, the one with big brass buttons, and his tiny shoes and make a scarecrow to stave off future garden heists!

Wow! My kids would NEVER! They hate tomatoes . . . unless we're talking about tossing them around and stomping them underfoot. :D

That is darling. Did the tomato juice give him a tummy ache?

10 months old.... :( boohoo... I'm missing out on so much! Can't believe he'll be a year old when I see him next. Well, I'll make the best of it for sure...
