ARGH!!!!! My heart sank when I saw it.

The pumpkin is little... only a few days old.
The bitemark is about 1/2 inch big. Hoping the wound will heal/scar and the pumpkin won't rot.

If I ever catch the little rascal that did this... he's lunchmeat! LOL

in the future even when the fruit is small cover them with a light piece of cloth or better yet make a hoop out of wire mesh and this will keep the munchies at bay

hey, if you check out my diary, you'll see my solution to the problem. Credit goes to Tom Beachy for the idea (I think). Rubber snakes are the way to go!!!

That's what you get for letting Tom Beacy into your patch. He likes biting stuff.
