I’ve heard from a few of you that your peas are being eaten by someone that’s not you!

This uninvited guest is most likely chipmunks that get through the fencing.

My recommendation is to plant a lot so that everybody gets some. A good, tall trellis might help by letting the critters have the lower portion and you get the easy-to-pick top portion.

You can also plant some aromatic herbs around your pea plants — herbs like sage and rosemary apparently put chipmunks off.

Remember, you can plant peas again in the fall — they are a cool season crop — plant in early August for October harvest.

We can try to outsmart the chipmunks, but in the end, I say: share — which is what we’re doing on this earth anyway.
