I have been growing tomato plants for the last year 5 years and while they don't always do great usually I wind up with a number of tomatoes at the end of the summer.
But this year is different. This year I have had something attack my plants and it doesn't seem to matter if the plants are hybrid or heirloom, in a container or in the ground. When I wake up in the morning I almost always find one of my plants has been attacked, the stem seems to have been sheared off. I am beside myself. I heard that marigolds deter predators so I bought marigolds but that did not work. I heard that cayenne pepper deters predators but that has not worked either. I don't know what to do anymore. I have a wooden fence around my garden but that has not stopped squirrels or a raccoon. in the past. I have not seen anything destroying my plants and I am at my wits end.
Help.
