Here is the lineup of tomatoes I'm saving from the squirrels. As you can see, a few have been molested, but I'm trying to save them. The one under the plastic bowl is in intensive care, due to fruit flies attacking the bite marks. The one just beyond that also has bite marks, but they've closed over. These will be ok for cooking, if they can get ripe before they get rotten!It so maddening to find a good tomato on the ground in my garden with just one bite taken! The squirrels have been terrible about that this year. For every two good tomatoes, the squirrels have had their way with one. I'm feeling murderous.

squirrels here have been suffering from the bad crop of acorns last year. don't know about chicago, but my guess is, they're hungry and will try anything once. i've never heard of squirrels eating tomatoes before. famine does strange things. are you sure it's not rabbits? or deer??
