Vine Eaten Tomatoes

For the past few summers we have planted a few things in the sunny spot in our back yard. I do tomatoes and Marc does pepper plants. We have learned to encase our 4' x 6' plot in deer proof netting. I have also installed a foot or so of chicken wire to keep out the rabbits. But I still get burrowing animals, especially when the tomatoes are about to ripen. I've seen squirrels stuck in there and I've seen chipmunks come and go as they please through their tunnels. As a result, we have vine eaten tomatoes!
