Competition

   So it seems I have a little competition, for my garden produce.  This past week I picked my first cucumber (it was delicious) and I was looking forward to the first tomato.  Each day the tomato was getting more and more red and ripe.  Then it was gone.  Well we found it on the side of the garden with several bites missing.  It seems a certain creature is watching my garden just as closely as I am and I will need to pick things before he or she gets to sample them.  We think it is a squirrel or maybe a possum.  Do you have any garden competition?
