Thanks for your reply Ron. We've had the resident chipmunk, Chippie, for about 4 years now, he thinks he's a rabbit & lives under the shed with each new rabbit family that settles in for a year or so & eats the rabbit food & bird seed that we put out. He is quite a character, crawling up our trees & along the plants, a foot from our big front porch, looking at us, while we're sitting there! He's a pest, but a permanent part of the family.

I finally resorted to sprinkling ground black pepper around each plant last week, & he has not dug again! I can just imagine the sneezing fit he took once he made an attempt! The pepper doesn't harm the plants & keeps Chippie away.
