Hello Folks,

Does anyone have any experience and advice for ridding a garden of groundhogs or gophers? They look alike to me I don't really know the difference. Last year, the first year I planted coneflowers, black eye susans, and veggies, groundhog or gophers ate all of them as soon as they were planted - tomatoes for some reason were the last thing they ate. To make matters worse they took residence under my porch soon after. The garden is just at the perfect exit and entrance perfect for them. Two weeks ago here they were, like clockwork eating breakfast, snack, lunch and dinner. It pains me to watch them destroy my garden. They did not give me time to enjoy my garden last year. I can't even throw a rock because as soon as I open the kitchen window out they went.

My perennials are now coming up I would like to know before I plant my annuals and also before they start on their annual feast
