Some people find this a bit sadistic and grotesque. There are tons of ways to manage your garden organically. Learn which bugs are really pests and learn which ones will eat the pests. To keep out larger pests, you may have to resort to more drastic measures. My gardens are now fenced to keep out dogs, cats, and bunnies.
Chipmunks are still a problem, but they are really like old friends anymore.
The key to this is planting what you enjoy eating. I have planted some funky things in my gardening experience, but always look forward to fresh tomatoes, peppers, squash, green beans, herbs and lettuces. I rarely buy fresh veggies during the summer and fall months, just buying the ones I don't grow. I have a very small garden, but we still get a lot of use out of it and have a lot of fun. Take notes this year while you garden.
