How does one keep tomatoes safe from chipmunks who love to eat them even
before they start to ripen? The little buggers can climb anywhere.Was going
to try small plastic bags around each tomato clump, but fear they'll chew
right through.

Tomatoes are not a favorite food of chipmonks but in dry spells they
will eat them for their moisture. If you put out fresh water
(birdbath) and peanuts the chipmonks will tell you where you can shove
your tomatoes.
