I have a few tomatoes in containers behind my house.  Sun is there early in the spring so I try to get a head start.  Sometimes it works.  Well, there are a few plants back there that have the absolute best tasting tomatoes, in my opinion, AND in the opinion of the resident backyard squirrels.  I decided to put netting around those few plants to protect my favorite tomato.  Well, with 7 or 8 plants unprotected, with green fruit for the taking, the squirrels are still trying to get into my netted section for the good tomatoes.  I am sure they will win the battle but so far they just knock the tomatoes off the vine and were not able to take them.  Notice the tomato on the ground, and one on the edge of the container
