Or you could do like they do in Memphis and use strawberry containers to protect the maters.

Netting and a motion-activated sprinkler seems to have kept them off our garden tomatoes . . . for now.

One could strap the sprinkler to the rail of the deck. The thing even scares me when I forget it’s there. Bought ours at In-Town Ace Hardware on Scott Blvd.

Nope. It’s used.
That’s why Eva won’t let me try it.

Oklahoma squirrel recipe. Skin, clean, and quarter. Boil furiously for 2 hours in plenty of water, with salt, pepper, and added oil of some kind. Take out meat quarters and drop in Bisquick biscuit dough chunks (don’t pay any attention to Bisquick’s “dumpling” recipe on the box — just mix the dough as if you were making biscuits). When the dumplings have boiled and bobbed and floated around in the furiously boiling squirrel broth for about 10 minutes, with a gentle stirring now and then, take them out of the broth and surround the squirrel meat on a platter. Voila! Delicious!

Someone told me to try Irish Spring soap, just put it in your garden. Haven’t bought any yet, but I’m going to try it. Also, my father-in-law told me to pull the tomatoes before they are totally ripe on the vine and let them finish inside. I tried this and they are still hands down, better then store bought.
