I never called it that, but we did have a tomato plant on the table where we ate at Christmas. I didn’t hang any ornaments on it though. Just some foil around the pot, and a ribbon around the top part of the pot.
Another blasted squirrel was just in the garden. I stood at the door and watched. He made a trip around the net room then went to the big squash and jumped into the barrel. I was out there in a flash and off he went. I didn’t put the tall squash in the net room as that would have been somewhat of a major move since there is 11 feet of it. So, I have wrapped the barrel with row cover and up the plant some. He can’t get inside the barrel now.
I’m going to set the animal trap right now and put it close to the big squash. If I catch him tonight, I am going to beat him to death tomorrow and hang his carcass where his friends can see it.
