tomato and basil

I'm glad I saved a last Tomato plant in a pot, because one of the ones in the garden got eaten. To the ground. I went out one morning and the entire plant was gone, just some shreds of leaves. It was already inside a cage, legs deep in the soil, so I couldn't put a cover over it. I've tried eggshells before and they didn't do much good, but this time scattered coffee grounds all around the base. So far no more damage.

It was one of these cherry ones, grown from seed.

They're still behind the volunteers in terms of growth.

And the Basil planted among them is doing well, too.
