Garden Marauders


we went out of town last weekend and came back to find a pair of young ground hogs taking up residence behind the garden shed. Young ground hogs are voracious eaters. We came back and found all the lettuce eaten to the ground as well as cucumber vines as high as they could reach and half the sweet potato vines and that was just the first day. The next day the finished the sweet potatoes and ate 2 heads of cabbage. I caught one of them, making the other disappear for a few days. But the eating was just too good so he came back I caught him last night .




I released him down by the river at the same place I did his sibling the other day here he is running for cover.
