The squirrels have discovered my tomatoes and are devouring them before they're ready for picking. Unless the rabbits had a 6 foot tall baby last liter. Grrr.

oh man that really bites. i know 3 ways that can stop them. you can cover them up with bird cloth. you can buy a hose sensor that makes the sprinkler turn on when squirrels are in the garden. you can buy a small electric fence. anyway thats the only ones i know.

Are brandywine tomatos good for sandwiches or cooking?

saltydad · 07-31-2011, 10:27 PM

I'm thinking of taking my pond netting for fall and draping it over them. Problem is they're in 2 different beds. Plus it looks like sh*t.

Try something they don't like, NEEM oil works here with the note that it get washed off with rain. It is also good to keep butterflies and moths away. Rather enjoy the tomatoes than watch the fliers. Ish emolsion might work also, it for for will keep the fliers away as they are attracted by the blossom smell. Good luck.

If you haven't already, give "Rutgers" a try. Of course they won't tolerate a freeze but otherwise the performance is great even with a cool spring a few light frosts.

Raised beds are great thing, specialy in climate like this where U have to be focused on watering. I might add a drip irrigation there.

Great job on these raised beds. Are they all for Tomatoes? Do you plan on filling the walking area in with more paver stone's?

Maybe half of the left one will be filled with few Peppers but all others will be for Tomatoes. No, I dont need mor stones, I ll leave the walking areas as they are.

Good idea, he will also need to obtain some Rennet or equivalent, such as the berries of Ashwagandha.
