you could tamper with the remaining tomatoes with some pest control chemicals and try again with a new plant once the squirrel sorts itself out

Sucks. I know what pests they can be because they like to try to invade my house when the weather turns cold.

Squirrels just love tomatoes injected with cayenne pepper oil. Won't kill them btw.

No.

For an animal it's a big deal to find a tomato. You can just get your own in a store.

Drive four 8 foot dowels into the ground. Wrap with mosquito netting or something thicker.

It's a lone tomato plant in an absolutely massive-ass pot so I'm not 100% sure what my best course of action is here.

I'm actually hoping to see how it's getting into the pot in the first place. If it's jumping off the stairs from my deck onto it then I can just move it, but if it's actually jumping to the lip from the ground and pulling itself up I might put some flimsy material around the lip (like a disc) that can't support its weight, so it'll just fall off when it jumps up.

Ironically (lmao) I also found out today the birds are eating some of the flowers I planted in some of my flower pots >_>

They're also landing on the tomato plant and they knocked a few of the unripe tomatoes off

Could always grease the pot so the squirrel can't get a grip and slides down if it's climbing up lol

Squirrels lose like 70% of their nuts. They literally exist only to plant trees.

how far away from trees/buildings are the plants? we had squirrels living in the roof at my parents house but they never touched my mom's tomatoes. they won't run across big stretches of open area because they're afraid of predators.

but if the plants are near anything they can jump to they'll eat them.

The ones here do because we legitimately have no predators in the immediate area

E: Like this squirrel specifically lives across the back lane from my house

The birds are in partnership with the squirrels. Growing season for tomato is almost gone (except for Mexico and Florida)

I've seen people have success with plants in raised beds away from other taller objects. so maybe if you can put the pot up on a stool or something and get it far enough away from nearby trees / houses / fences that will work
