Once squirrels develop a taste for anything, they will relentlessly pursue it. On the other hand, I've developed a taste for slow cooked crockpot squirrel meat, so they leave my garden alone

They also munched down whatever they could reach on the cuttings I took from that plant. I've given up on growing my favorite kale here, and I'm hoping that whatever I plant near the fence this year won't derail them on their journeys from a neighbor's olive tree to our plum tree.
If the pole beans (beans or plants) are within easy reach, will the squirrels be likely to demolish them?
