One time I was growing cucumbers in a pot on my balcony. Growing in pots on my balcony means I usually only have one pot of anything, because of space and pot limitations. I woke up to hear "skitter, skitter" sounds outside the window. I opened the blinds and saw a squirrel eating my only cucumber plant that had only begun to flower. I knocked on the glass and said, "Hey!" He stopped and looked at me for a second, then kept chewing.
At that point, the damage was done, so I let him finish. 😂 I still don't know how he got to my balcony, though - that must have been a daring leap from the nearest tree.

Damn squirrels. 😂 They snitched so many of our tomatoes last year. One day I came home from work and one was just chilling out on the back porch munching on a green tomato. He gave me that same look. 🤦♀️

They are BOLD! lol. And in Denver, they sometimes carry the plague (the literal black plague, as do the prairie dogs and field mice), so I wasn't about to rush out onto my balcony and have a cage match trying to shoo him off. 😂
Yikes! Yes, that definitely makes you think before getting into a fight with a critter, haha!
Oh! lol that you said "hey!". Kind of like screaming at a snake. I'm sure a squirrel could easily get around my contraption. Hopefully there will be enough for all of us this year. I really had plenty for myself, despite all the sharing I did. This year, I hope to have some to preserve and give away.
