Can anyone suggest a way to keep squirrels out of my tomato garden. I

have
my tomato plants enclosed in a three foot fence, but the squirrels just
climb over it. Last year, they destroyed every tomato. I live in a
metropolitan area, so guns are not an option.

Hav-a-hart trap is best bet but some places do not even allow this. I take
squirrels to park.
Largest trap is good idea. Mine is 2nd largest and would not hold large
raccoon that was pestering me.
I've never seen squirrels going after tomato or plants so you may have
another pest like a groundhog or raccoon.
Large rat traps will occasionally nail one - squirrels like peanut butter.
I've also popped a couple with my bow and neighbor uses low velocity 22's
which do not make too much noise.
