Solution...

We have a small tomato patch in the back of the cottage


we love eating tomatoes...
but, so do the chickens

and because we range free our fowl feathered creatures...
I needed a solution to their tomato thefts


cheesecloth was my best solution

I cut the cheesecloth into smaller pieces and loosely wrap tomatoes as they start to turn pink


since then, the thieving has stopped


yeah, little peeper...
you get the bugs and I get the tomatoes


May the Lord bless your day, or night.
