Any suggestions for deterring squirrels from eating my beautiful tomatoes?
It doesn't seem to matter to them if they are ripe or green. The plants can
be full of fruit when I leave for work in the morning and quite sparse when
I come home in the afternoon.
Please Help!
Thanks in advance,

I had problems with *something* (likely birds) putting holes in my
tomatoes. The theory was whatever was doing it was thirsty, so I put
out some pots with water in them, and the problems stopped (I garden
in California, where there's no rain to speak of during the summer
months). Not sure if it'll apply in your case, but might be worth a
shot.
