Aitnougn a groundhog may consider going underneath, in this case my absolutely miserable, clayey, rocky soil is a blessing. Groundhogs are no more willing to tunnel through it than through concrete.

Actually, I can’t complain yet this year. Groundhogs have not attempted to enter my garden, nor have they bothered my unfenced plants. I think perhaps they have found enough food in the clovers, evening primroses and succulent grasses of my natural meadow garden nearby.

At any rate, they’ve done no real damage and I’m beginning to believe that I’ve discovered a couple of cures for the family curse.
