It's a great visual! My ground hogs have not attacked me, as yet...but, they are greedy little buggers! I would not mind if they only nibbled a little here and there. I would gladly share, but they just gorge and they don't stop till it is all gone! I fenced in my gardens last year and it worked. They ate the peas that hung over the fence, but I didn't mind.....do you think they appreciated my sharing? I hope so. My sister in law has ground hogs that dig under and climb over her fences....fortunately, her ground hogs don't hang around with mine. @Diana…too funny. It’s a great visual!

They are so greedy. They have ruined every garden for as long as I can remember. I got a dog to try and deter them, but, no use. Last Easter my neighbors and I tried the smoke bomb. (to see if he could roll away the stone) Alas he was resurrected and did more damage than ever to me and all of my neighbors as well. I was thinking Groundhog day this year; catch them while they are sleeping. Someone said give them bubble gum, but that sounds too gruesome. Sorry to the lady who keeps them as pets. I really do hate the idea of killing them. But we have have-a hearted around for 15 years. All the wasted time and money. THEY HAVE CROSSED THE LINE. They just don't share.

And by the way, if you ever visit on garden-tour days, leave those particular "children" at home. :) He probably would hate the car ride, anyhow. @Candace: You are much more tolerant than I.
