Everyone's gardens look great. We planted late because we thought we had to move. Our plants didn't do well. chipmunks and squirrels were happy though.

I think I'm giving up on the garden, chipmunks have eaten every tomatoes just before they ripened. Now they have pulled all the green ones off, nothing left I only had three plants. I still have yellow squash and zuchini,cucumbers also.

Mine has ended up looking like a prison camp. Between the rabbits, squirrels and deer, I have to cage everything to keep them out.

Only thing they don’t touch is my beloved garlic.

That would signal a full scale assault….no holds barred…..straight up “ shoot ‘em dead defense”.
If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

That would most definitely be a dead defense.

 Small live traps are not to expensive.
I know it’s illegal but I have trapped many chipmunks, red squirrels and gray squirrels and relocated them all summer..
  Use to tie a rope to the trap and throw it in the pond for a while.  Guess I’m getting soft… :-\

Bob electric fence for the deer.  That’s what I have. 
 Seen a lot of bunnies but I think they won’t go up into the raised beds.

I have caught this guy in my raised beds. He doesn't seem to harm much, just lays around and chases the ladies. I only see him eating clover and dandelions outside of the garden.

He is pretty cool but he's anything other than "little". He's at least twice as big as the other rabbits running around.

Doesn’t look wild to me. Probably an escapee or released pet.

We were thinking the same. He is really funny to watch chase the other rabbits. He doesn't run, just hops. And not very fast either. He's very persistent though.
