Fair warning

Mood not helped by coming home to find that sometime today squirrels had broken off the section of my remaining fruit-bearing tomato plant that had all the tomatoes on it. I think that from the two plants, my total harvest so far all this summer has been three cherry tomatoes. I'm beginning to see the appeal of the squirrel catapult.

My housemates could commiserate - the local deer have trampled her beans.

Sympathies on the tomato loss...

At this point I call the thing handing in front of my window the "squirrel feeder,"

Ugh! That sucks.

Our two tomato plants disappeared entirely, a week or so apart, before they ever got very big at all. Eventually realized it must've been squirrels who took them for whatever reason. Jerks! Stupid squirrel jerks!

I'd honestly never heard of squirrels doing stuff with tomato plants 'til this year, they never bothered our plants last year (hmm, but maybe I had cages on them to start with and didn't this year?).
