Because of the health concerns with moth balls, I would not recommend using them around vegetables. The mothballs will not harm the plants, but could cause health concerns for people if the chemicals get on the vegetables.

Instead, you may want to use garlic or chili pepper spray to keep the chipmunks from damaging your food.
