shared tomatoes

I'm picking tomatoes green, to ripen on windowsills again. Not because it's cold outside, but so I can eat them and not the critters.

Most of the large tomatoes in my garden get holes in them, and then start rotting. If I pick 'em quick enough, I can cut out the bad spots. It looks bigger than damage a bug would do- chipmunk or squirrel? bird? (I've seen a bird stabbing its beak in one).

However, this plant that I still think is a wild reverted coleus, now overwhelming one end of the tomato bed, 

has also nicely protected a few tomatoes. I found several of the large ones hidden under its leaves, ripened and completely untouched.
