Oh and your hydrangea is beautiful. I planted one last year but it didn't bloom. I too was afraid it wouldn't survive the winter. It does have the starts of flowers on it now. Can't wait to see the blooms. I don't even remember what color it is. I guess I'll be surprised.

Sunflower126, would a live trap work? Relocate him to a safe place he will be happy? Do you have lots of them? I am sorry you have to deal with this. Underground critters are hard to get rid of.

Charmpacksplus: Your hydrangea is beautiful.

That is my husband's theory. We also have an ongoing battle with chipmunks digging big holes in the yard and of course the squirrels are always trying to steal the birdseed.

Your corner of the world is very pretty. Good for you.
It is almost impossible to keep rabbits,squirels,moles,voles,chipmonks and everything else out of gardens, yards and containers with plants.
All God's creatures need to eat.
