Groundhog? Isn't that like a beaver?

sort of, but worse. beavers stick to the water and trees for the most part (i've never had beavers around here). groundhogs are rather large and eat a lot of vegetable matter to get the energy they need. they can mow a garden down...

i need a better fence to fully exclude them and that's not likely to happen this year either so i have to hunt them or i won't get much from the gardens.

I have 2 silly questions. As it is warm, went out early and ripped it all out. Tomato dried plants, pulled and sent to compost. Cages, fixed and stacked. Old Greek oregano, cut all old dried ones. This one I know it comes back.

#1 I pulled the old corn stalks. However, the land behind me they only cut it low. Do they seed or the stalks come back? Please tell me they re-seed or I will feel so stupid,

Also removed the dry sweet basil and even being dried, the smell was so intense and fresh. #2. Am I double stupid?
