Obvious claw marks -- do they look like the damage was caused by a squirrel.
My fear is that it was a groundHOG -- but I didn't see any other signs, and there were other more close to ripe tomatoes lower down on other plants. This one had been about 3 feet up from the ground.
So folks who have had their tomatoes raided by squirrels -- does this tomato look like it had been taken off the vine by a squirrel?
This is a striped variety called "Girl Girl's Weird Thing" found growing among Green Zebra. It's only blushed and not ripe yet. It would have ripened to brick red and green.
No other damage evident anywhere else, including corn, squash and melons.
