Squirrels and tomatoes
Do they eat them?
I /had/ about a hundredweight of tomatoes and they mostly seem to have vanished, we are getting the top few fruits only, which are usually very small...I assumed that someone had had them away in the night, but disovered a squirrel on the gh roof a few days ago, could he / she be the culprit? -- If God had intended us to drink beer, He would have given us stomachs. |

It's not human because the GH with a closing door hasn't been affected, also we have a dog who goes berserk at nightime noises. I have counted up to 6 squirrels at a time in my front garden and today while scarifying the lawn I discovered about 50 - 60 acorns pushed deep into the long grass, why do they do this? Anyway I've put a bolt on the other GH door and I've noticed more red in there this week than any other throughout the summer. -- If God had intended us to drink beer, He would have given us stomachs. |
