I picked my first "official" ripe tomato on Monday.
I had noticed it was ripe on Sunday, but I decided to wait just one more day. To my surprise, when I went to pick it on Monday, someone else had already taken a bite! Most likely a bird of some sort.
I found some advice by doing a "google" search and went to work. Now my garden has shiny CD's on each cage. Apparently, birds are afraid of shiny metal objects.
Sometimes birds eat tomatoes because they are thirsty. So I put out a water dish for the birds.
I also put some mesh around each cage so they can't get in. I think I'm covered now. Next tomato is mine!
Within a few days there are several tomatoes that will be ripe.
