That's the experience I'm having. I've got squirrels and chipmunks and voles and raccoons and opossums, and none of them are taking any interest in any of the tomatoes.
My problems are coming in the "worm" form---tomato hornworms, those black spotted guys, etc
At my aunt's rural place, it's the deer and the groundhogs that usually give her trouble.
I'll have to ask around. When I think about it, I don't think I've ever heard anyone mention squirrels going for the tomatoes.....maybe after generations of the blechy tomatoes most people grew around here, the squirrels here don't recognize that there could be tasty fare on those plants....
