I usually have terrible luck with containers but this year I have a couple of them and am using the Texas Tomato Food every week and they are doing better than I have ever had container plants do. They still are dwarfed by my garden tomatoes.
Pellet rifle with a scope sighted in will help tremendously with squirrels. It is the only way I have been able to keep them under control. If I let up just one year the population explodes. They must breed like rabbits around here. I would also set out a bait station with rat poison in case you are getting a lot of mice and rats which you will probably never see unless you are out with a flashlight at night a lot. They will do much worse damage than the squirrels and chipmunks and you never even know they are there.
