I literally laughed out loud when I read this post. I think the squirrel was waiting for it to get nice and ripe as well. Only he doesn't have a 9-5 to keep him away from the fruits of your labor. I'm still laughing just picturing that squirrel sitting there..
A-yep! I saw a squirrel just today. First one I ever seen on my property. I think the deer must have tipped him off since the deer absolutely LOVE tomato Salad! But, I get those folks under control. The squirrel will be a bit tougher to get rid of but I can guarantee you that what bounces off the deer's but, is gonna do some major "squirrel damage" if I can hit him!
