Die, die!

An evil gopher ate one of my Master Gardener trial tomatoes! Every last bit of the 30" tall plant was gone, pulled down into the tunnel and consumed, except for the last 4" which was all that was sticking out of the ground this morning. Yes, it really is like Chip and Dale, entire plants pulled underground. I didn't believe it until I saw it.

I hope it gets a terrible stomach ache! Or better yet, runs into the traps we set, though I am doubtful that we set them in the right places.

I do have back up plants. But it bodes ill for the growing season.
