Can anybody help me figure out what is eating on my veggies? I have Early Girl and Goliath tomatoes growing in a half barrel that have complete limbs that are missing foliage. There are small black dropping on the bare branches. I also noticed some bird dropping in the soil as well. I have cages around them which would give a bird a wonderful perch while pecking my plants.
I also have some green beans that are being nibbled on. They are in the garden which is not protected from wildlife. I've noticed a pair of doves haning out on the shed next to the garden and sometimes I seen the female in the garden. We also have a martin house that attracts lots of sparrows whcih I see near the garden. Is it the birds that are nibbling holes in the leaves of the beans, or some sort of insect. Here are some pictures.
