Woodchucks.

I lost this year's winter squash crop to squashbugs.
Tomatoes were probably lost to a lack of calcium.
Melons were lost to the woodchuck.
I'm thinking that I need to augment the deer fencing with
something that'll keep a 70lb dog in and put up a tarp and an
automatic watering dish and let the dogs enjoy some time in the
garden next summer.
Plus I need to reinforce the bottom of the fence anyways
so i can feel a little more confident the ducks won't escape.
