Trees provided the bridge for several troops of bonnet monkeys to go from forest to fields, but not without first tasting our produce. Palm squirrels used the trees as a launch pad for their guerilla warfare on the kitchen garden. Half-eaten green tomatoes, guavas and mangoes littered the ground, while tender, green, badly mauled chardonnay melons hung from vines. Presumably, the squirrels and monkeys decided to solve our problem of producing too much.
