I got chipmunks [View all]

[jmbar2]

I've been putting in a new garden on a sandy slope on the Oregon coast. It has been a much more complex project than I anticipated due to the need to construct it so that water can flow downhill without taking the garden with it.

I have finished a narrow raised bed and put out my first seeds. Now I see chipmunks running all around it.

I am not familiar with the little critters. I had planned only on planting salad greens, carrots and beets in this bed so as not to attract birds. Now I'm wondering if it's worth finishing the beds only to have everything eaten by the 'munks.

Is this garden doomed?
