Windsor Garden and the Saga of Mr. Groundhog


We will be having a delicious supper from our little garden tomorrow and I can't wait. In spite of Mr Groundhog we were able to harvest beans, cucumbers, zuchinni, cabbage and tomatoes. We have attempted to catch the groundhog (again) but have not been successful. Janet had some new beans growing nicely until he helped himself to them. A funny story - we purchased a trap, as shown in one of the pictures, earlier in the year. We put it out and caught him the first day. We took him down to road a mile or so and turned him loose in some woods. Guess what, a few days later he shows back up in our yard after having travelled across a 4 lane highway and past businesses and houses. . If we can catch him again we will take him to the cabin so he can fish or do whatever he wants. We just want him out of our garden.
