Someone stole my cherry tomatoes!
I woke up to the most horrible thing today, I was ROBBED during the night!
A bird must have stolen my cherry tomatoes while I was asleep! Well not all of them, but some of them. LOL
Every morning, as the dew is still glistening in the morning sun, I venture in my big backyard garden and take a look at the beautiful plants doing their thing. My wife and I are growing a wide range of herbs like dill, basil, mint and plenty of vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers. Over the past few years, it's become one of my favorite things to do, and encourage anyone to get into home gardening.
But this morning, I was especially excited because the cherry tomatoes had really started to ripen to an almost perfect red and I was eager to pick some and taste them today.
To my surprise, a bird seems to have made his way into our garden and snatched a good number of my cherry tomatoes and all I could find was this very small one on the ground as evidence that "beaks" had been poking holes in tomatoes and making off with their organic booty!
To show the size of the cherry tomato I found on the ground, I picked a fresh blackberry off the vine and held it in my hand for comparison.

Our garden is fenced in and made so any thing with legs can't really get in and steal things, but its hard to keep birds out, so we let them take what they want and what they leave we eat. LOL
The taste of a fresh cherry tomato picked fresh off the vine from your backyard is as wonderful as the sweet and sour flavor of an organic blackberry just picked off the vine still moist with dew.
