The squirrels get into my garden and eat all the tomatoes and Swiss chard! I am so mad!!! I have tried everything I can. No electric fence because the garden is next to the pump house. Lenora

Sorry to hear. Squirrels can be naughty things. The chipmunks ate my blueberries. What about a plastic owl?

try predator urine, you can get it at most hunting supply stores, or on-line...works really well...

Lenora,
I used netting a few years ago, and found a small snake twisted up and trapped in it. I don't use it anymore.
Between squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits and deer, my garden seems to be a buffet for the local critters. The closest I've come to a solution is growing in containers - it's not very fun, but you gotta do what you've gotta do!
Good luck!
