Backyard Harvest

This spring we planted a bunch of vegetables in a garden in our backyard. We were excited about all of the delicious, organic vegetables we would enjoy. Apparently, the chipmunks were too. For the majority of the summer they ate the flowers before they could turn into vegetables. The tomatoes never had a chance to turn green before being devoured. It was very very sad. Toward the end of the season, a few things managed to survive the chipmunks. This was the final harvest before the weather turned. We picked off all of the tomatoes green and let them ripen in the window.

You can see the scratch marks on the eggplants where the chipmunks tried desperately to take a bite.

They also devoured our pumpkin on Halloween. Not cool Alvin, not cool.
