Container Gardening Experiment Gone Bad

We haven't done any gardening for years. This past spring the Boy Scouts were selling plants and flowers, so we decided to buy some and plant a few tomato plants in 5 gallon buckets on our deck.  This was our experiment with container gardening.

We had one tomato left on one of our plants, and I woke up one morning to see this:

What is that on the roof of our shed?

It's our last tomato—green and half-eaten by a squirrel!

Our experiment didn't work very well.  At least, not for us.  The squirrels loved them.  As soon as they started to turn red they would disappear, or I would find it half eaten on the railing of the deck.  We managed to get one tomato out of the whole bunch!
