Hoarding Chipmunks

A couple of baby peppers are down again. It's on the same damn green pepper plant that's been continuously attacked from the start. But the peppers aren't touched, they don't even have any bite marks. Mom thinks it might be chipmunks. What is wrong with these chipmunks that they just bring down the pepper but don't eat it? Aaaand, if little Alvin is ignoring the fox pee and getting under my netting, how am I supposed to stop him?? I sprinkled more Shake Away in the area and added an extra layer of netting to that plant to see what happens. What else can I do?

But I can't think about this too much right now. I just watched an episode of Hoarding: Buried Alive on the TLC channel which of course makes me want to clean my entire apartment. Tonight. A Sunday at 9:30 pm. I might starting hoarding chipmunks to stop them from getting to my plants. Think that'll work??

Sneak Attack

This morning, I sat on the deck to read since the weather was cooler and thoroughly enjoyed myself.  I went inside to do a few chores, and when I went back out a few hours later, I discovered that I was attacked while I was away. There were these mysterious and pretty sizable holes in my peppers!!! This was on the larger plant, not my Wilbur. The runt has been left alone for now.

Anyone want to tell me what could have done this and how to prevent it in the future? I have netting around all my plants so I didn't think birds could get to them without getting tangled up, especially since these bites are on the underside of one of the larger peppers in the middle of the plant! I don't think the caterpillars I got rid of yesterday came back. I looked high and low and didn't see a trace of them. Although I guess it's possible. Does anyone have a clue??

The first sign I had been the victim of a sneak attack.

This just makes me so sad! One of my largest, now handicapped, green peppers.
