I have lost 3 tomatoes plants to some little critter that chews the main stem halfway thru, then the top portion just flops over and dies. I have the plants enclosed in a dome (netting attached to fence), so don't think it is a rabbit. I would think a rabbit would actually eat the plant...

Maybe I need to get a cat. But then it would use my garden as a toilet. I haven't seen any rats around. The fence is made of 1/2 inch screen supported by another sturdy fence. My guess is snails. Need a resident possum.
I put out SLUGGO. Hopefully they will go to wherever snails go when they eat SLUGGO.
