Creepy-looking, no? This is the reason my garden basically consists of roses, hydrangeas and lilies. Mrs. Woodchuck dug a big hole in my new shrub border and I was thinking of trapping her after she ate phlox in the front garden.
Then Saturday I looked out the window and saw . . .
Three little baby woodchucks!

This last little bugger climbed the peegee hydrangea tree then swung down like a koala bear and landed on his butt. So cute!
UNTIL, I saw they ate my rose campion and I once again contemplated hiring a hitman. Grrrr.

Too bad groundhogs are so destructive, because they sure are cute ... the babies especially.
Wait a few months until they are weaned and ready for life on their own, THEN trap their little furry butts. After you're certain that they are gone, fill in that hole before more groundhogs take up residence.
Ugh. Someone's eating the hostas. I'm thinking it's the babies because it's the edges now, not the tops. I'll have to figure out when I can trap them.
They're kinda cute. But I don't blame you, I'd be pissed if something was eating away at my garden.
Yeah, I have to figure this out. The woodchuck population is getting out of control.
