Does planting marigolds next to tomatoes help in keeping squirrels off?

No, marigolds don't help keep squirrels from eating your tomatoes. The first tomatoes to be eaten by the squirrels were in patio pots and surrounded by marigolds almost half as tall as the tomatoes. One tomato is now completely bare of tomatoes, it had 5 or 6 before the squirrels found it. The other still has 5 but by tomorrow probably will have only one or two left - if any.

Why greens should be stored separately from tomatoes and apples?

Tomatoes and apples give off ethylene (a gas) which will speed the decay of the other greens. This can be useful. If you put green bananas next to apples in a fruit bowl the bananas will ripen faster than if left on their own. In fact if you put tomatoes in a bag they will ripen faster than if left unenclosed as the ethylene is trapped in the bag.

This effect was discovered by accident. Banana ripening sheds used to be heated by kerosene lamp type affairs. When modern heating was installed the fruit took longer to ripen. It was found that ethylene was produced as a by product of the burning kerosene and it was that which was speeding the ripening process.
