I have to downsize the garden this year and thought about putting in
pumpkins to take up some space. I live next to a railroad track which
is a groundhog highway. There's always another one and being in the
city limited ways to get rid of them. They love melon vines so that's
out. Anybody know if they feel the same about pumpkins?

They not only eat pumpkin vines, they will come back later to eat any
pumpkins that might actually have set.

The only food they seem to prefer to garden plantings is mulberry leaves.

I can tolerate most of the wildlife around here, even the rabbits.
Groundhogs are the exception. My daughter, the zoology student,
made a very nice study skin from one of our local groundhogs.
