I was kind of thinking squirrels... I don't know. What do you think? Should I eat the "shared" fruit? I bet it will ripen on my counter in time for me to cut the chewed on part off...
It could have been slugs, I guess? I think of them staying down on lower to the ground plant, though... But I also think of squirrels taking bigger bites... Hmm.
Sad! My first thought was bird, but rodent makes sense, too. Seems like a squirrel would have made a bigger mess, or maybe that's just the squirrels in my yard that are that messy :)
Last year it seemed like the birds made smaller pecks. But I don't know - there were some spots that looked pointy, so could have been. The annoying thing was, about a week ago I put up a bird feeder thinking "the birds that eat seeds won't generally bother my tomatoes", but I forgot that squirrels love birdseed too. Found all the seed gone and a lot of squirrel poop in the feeder yesterday. Guess I need to stick to winter bird feeding...
The birds poke holes like that in my strawberries. I wouldn't mind sharing a few strawberries; but instead of wrecking a bunch of strawberries, I just wish they would eat the whole strawberry. I would guess a bird did it!
