Great tip! I’m going to try this with plants outside of my greenhouse.

Good tips. My lower ones are covered but the one time squirrels ate my tomatoes, they ate only my favorite mater, Hillbilly!

@@8thcelisabeth They are pretty smart. I bet they knew that was your favorite and ate it on purpose😒

My coworker put a net up, and hooks it around some nails until she’s ready to open it. You can water through the net as well she says

Put the tomatos in a paper bag to get a deep red.
