Is the sedum salvagable? The tops are ripped off from the roots but I have short stems -- can they be rooted? I won't plant it outdoors again but I could tuck it in pots in the sunroom. I love the texture so I can't just throw it in compost yet!

It's very, very salvagable! Take all the pieces you have left, put them in little clumps of 3-5 pieces (you might want to strip the foliage off of the bottom of the stems), and stick them in a pot or wherever you want them--water them in, and then don't water again until they're all the way dry. The drying is the part that will stimulate the roots to grow, so just don't keep them wet all the time. Once it gets started, you should wind up with lots---and you can try some outside again. You're not gonna let a maniac homicidal chipmunk beat you, are you!

Good luck,

You could try a different spot, or, maybe, try placing a large rock above the sedum, from which the chipmunk could watch for predators even more easily.

Another anti-chipmunk tactic is to surround your new plants with 1 1/2--2" or larger rocks to discourage digging around them. Chipmunks like to dig in freshly dug soil, but the rocks discourage them.

I suspect it was a chipmunk who climbed all the way up my sunflowers (back in the days when I still had enough sun to grow sunflowers) and decapitated them.

I know Chipmunks can be destructive, but you have to admire their spunk. I once saw one trying to fight off a large, adult crow. (Nor sure who won, as I was dealing with a tailgater at the time.)
