Yah, it's the other way around and then the little buggers take the part that is turning red! Had to pick four of them yesterday because the squirrels got them. I am trying to save them in the house if I can. I have the humongous Fantastic tomatoes - one slice fills a whole piece of bread! I think the squirrels already know that!
They don't take the grape or cherry tomatoes either. You'd think they'd like the ones they could handle better. But then I get to pick them and pop 'em in my mouth and just let them explode. Miss Bess (avatar) loves the little tomatoes also and the other day she popped on and it drooled all over the place. She looked at me so weird - "Did I do that?????" Like the time she caught a moth in her mouth, opened up her mouth and it flew out. Dogs do have quizzical looks about them. Happy tomatoes!!!!! Edie
