Ah my battle with the ground hog

Last year I got back into vegetable gardening.  I gave away a lot of the vegetables to some of my recent buyer clients.  I would put tomatoes, cucumbers, zuccini, and peppers in a little bag with an olive oil bottle.   My clients were happy to get the fresh vegetables.

Last year in July one ground hog invaded my garden and ate up quite a few cucumbers, tomatoes, and cucumber plants.  I successfully live trapped the ground hog and relocated him to a wildlife area.  Well this year I one invaded my garden early and caught him too.  I let him lose on at a church that backed up to a wildlife area.  He just went running when I let him out of the trap.

But it seems my neighborhood is over run with ground hogs.  They are decimating my garden early.

This latest ground hog has eaten over 25 plants down to the stubs.  I feel like Caddy Shack.  But instead of fighting gophers I am fighting a ground hog that has escaped my life traps.  He has been eating good at the Ravary household, but now I would live to give him a long vacation ride over to Edwards Hines Park.  Lots of fresh greens, lots of woods to hide in, and many acres of land to roam is where he is headed.

 But right now I think he is laughing at me.
