Sweet Gold

 

sweet gold cherry tomato
I picked these sweet gold cherry tomatoes when they were still slightly green to thwart the squirrels.  They ripened in a few days.

I noticed my neighbour put up this netting over his garden.

We had to give up on outside gardens. Too many hungry critters.

You managed to save the tomatoes—maybe consider using a net like that too, if possible!

My father had to use similar netting to keep the birds out of his blueberry bushes. It does work! Blessings, Christine!

Homegrown tomatoes must be really nice.

I've been picking my cherry tomatoes a day early like you. For me its the chipmunks. Your neighbor may be smart with the netting. Happy new week.

Looks yummy. Here "sadly" no nets needed this "summer"...

Good for picking the tomatoes before the dreaded squirrels go them. The netting is good. Have a nice day today.

when we first moved here to the lake house I tried to grow some tomatoes-the chipmunks and squirrels ate them all-so frustrating-I may try again with nettying

These look very nice and an excellent tip about picking them before they are ripe to deter the squirrels. I would need to do that around here :)

My tomatoes have suffered from this heat and drought. I hope the netting helps your neighbor.
