Groundhogs
 
Groundhogs have discovered a memorial garden planted on a golf course. They
have eaten their fill! They have NOT eaten hellebores, ornamental grasses,
or some ferns. What can I plant safely? Low maintenance is a must.
Thanks,
Carolyn

Just a guess how about Hosta or Day Lilies ? Groundhogs have discovered
our food garden this year too .

I've trapped and re-located four since April.

They made quick work of the cukes and pansies. They crossed the line when
they started in on my tomatoes, so a few Hav-A-Hart traps and a 10-mile car
ride worked wonders.

Before putting up a fence, I was making fence wire cages placed over some
crops, secured with bricks. Worked nicely.

Been there, done that. Now I have racoon
problems.

I think they moved into the old groundhog dens.

Try some herbs. I have planted Tyme, Tarragon,
Lavender, Oregano and Sage and they haven't even
nibbled on these.

Castor beans are good for getting rid of moles, so maybe they would
work for groundhogs too. I don't know, but the seeds are poisonous,
but the plants are cool. I planted some this year just for the
foliage and they look so nice....everyone that drives by when I'm
outside stops and wants to know what they are and were to get the
seed. So give it a try, maybe it'll work for you, if not, you'll
still have some pretty foliage. barb

Groundhogs are best removed with a 300Win Mag or a .223 from 100 yards.
