While living on the seminary campus we always planted a vegetable garden and always nearly every vegetable was taken by squirrels before we could get to them. It was so frustrating. No place has more squirrels than the seminary.
So it was with some surprise that we realized out Collinsville neighborhood was not bothered by squirrels. I planted tomatoes in the back yard and have been amazed that they stay on the vines even when turning red. No squirrels are eating them and we've remarked at the lack of squirrels here.
And just as I write this I glanced out the dining room window and sure enough, there was a squirrel halfway up the birch tree. I guess we'll see if maybe these guys just don't like tomatoes.
We have a million squirrels in our yard. A walnut tree with nuts.
