There is always a tunnel; extensive tunnel. I don't think we have gophers around here, and I thought of voles but so far all I've actually seen are moles - cats get one occasionally and leave it on the doorstep. Things like the hostas, once healthy and flourishing, slowly begin to yellow and wither. When I look closer, I find they're just sitting there with no roots, a big hole under them and a tunnel in both directions. It's maddening....
