I had to pick the majority of my early setting tomatoes green and allow them to ripen indoors which was a downer, as for me there is a noticeable diminishing in taste. I see cats and chicken wire cages in my future. Now the acorns are forming on the trees around me and the little pests are starting to devour them and have so far left the 'maters alone so just maybe i'll have vine ripened heirloom tomatoes for the fall. Knock on wood.
There are plenty of squirrels in my neighborhood. However; they are well aware that there are cats roaming around amongst my tomato and pepper plants. NO problems with my veggies...

These are neighborhood cats that dine on the food that I put out for them. We have an agreement, and it is working out very well.
