Smokefree Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I covered my high deck with containers of tomato plants to finally get away from the massive groundhog and other critters that ate them all last year. Thought "problem solved" up until today. This morning I noticed several half-eaten tomatoes right on the plants and I thought what would have done that? Well I found out when I was walking one of my two little dogs this afternoon in the backyard. I suddenly heard an animal running down the stairs that go up to my deck and thought my other dog had gotten loose. As I stared at the bottom of the deck stairs waiting to grab my other dog before he made a dash for freedom, what do I see bound off into the yard? A huge groundhog!

wildflowerpa Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I've seen them on fence posts too. We had one that sat in the garden and ate the tomatoes like you would an apple. He was big too. Does that mean tomatoes are actually fattening? :-/ Can't call them stupid critters that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavender Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 They climb trees also. First time I saw a groundhog up a tree, I didn't believe what I was seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
