Default a bribe seems to be working

i've been trying to get the edamame soybeans
past sprout stage. the first batch were all
eaten by chipmunks as they sprouted.

buggers have eaten almost every one i planted
which sprouted.

so far i think i have about 4 plants out of
a few hundred seeds planted. i'm not sure i
will get any return from them until i harvest.
it's pretty late - i don't expect much of any
thing at all at this point.

not enough time to hunt or trap. the air-gun
needs a bit more sighting in with new ammo and
i haven't had any time for that either.

if i want a crop next year of these i'll have
to get a better fence and/or get the gun sighted
in and/or get the traps out again.

the bribes worked for a short period of time.
i needed them to work longer.
