Sorry for the blur. That happens easily with my camera when the light is low.
Solution below. Don’t peek.
The groundhogs love to eat my clover. Until a few months ago, I had a family of groundhogs living within 25 feet of my upper porch. That was a little too close for comfort. I was afraid they’d borrow around the foundation of the house. I harrassed them whenever I saw them by making noises, throwing things, and emptying cat litter down their holes. After a few weeks of harassment, they moved back just inside the woods.
For now, I’m content with where they are. Though groundhogs can be garden pests, I think they’re one of the smaller nuisances. Unlike deer, groundhogs can’t wipe out an entire garden in one night. They’re welcome to the clover. I like the idea of providing habitat for the critters, as long as they don’t bite me or get into my food.
