Now let's deal with those groundhogs....

When you spend time and money maintaining a garden to supplement the family food supply, those same critters that city folk find cute and lovable are quite nasty and belligerent. For example, those sweet little Bambi's that prance about the local zoo with adoring wide eyes are gang brothers to those that will stand in my garden and stomp a zucchini plant to shreds just to watch it die. Groundhogs (a.k.a. "Woodchucks") are even worse. They'll break through the fence and take a nibble from every last vegetable, turning a row of garden fresh to garden garbage in mere minutes—and then waddle back in the ground, seemingly safe from retaliation. Ah, but maybe not. Here's what I found on the Internet. PETA members, take note- this is not for you. On the other hand, if you disdain burrowing beasts as much as I, you're gonna love this.
