I know its polite to share, but I just don't want to anymore. They always just take one little bite out of my tomatoes - they don't finish eating them, they just want to make sure that I can't I guess.

I picked up the tomato and threw it at him. My intent was to scare him so that he might think twice about trying it again. The tomato smacked him square and went "splat". I felt really bad as I watched him limp around, trying to get to a safe place.

My butternut squash are about 4 to 5 inches in length and are yellow or ripe already. WE NEED RAIN!
I just serve the thieving critters up beside the vegies.

There are some brave little devils, though, and if I find they start eating any of my garden, I may try putting pigeon spikes on the fence so they won't want to use that as a means for entry into the yard.
