Not this time I did not do it! Blame it on?

Ya its seems my girlfriend blames everything on me if something is wrong! I was outside near the rabbit pen and she says to me why did you put all this dirt around the side of the rabbit pen. I did not do that I said but she never believes me so I thought about it for a minute and knew it must be that ground hog! It sure was he dug a huge hole near the rabbit pen and had a large amount of dirt scattered all around. Maybe I should keep the ground hog as a scape goat but my garden is more important. I seen him today and went to the truck for the shot gun but her dog started barking and there goes the ground hog. His days are numbered!

You know, between being mad and annoyed by the fact that they are here at all, and shocked by the vast hole they dig, when the groundHOG digs up holes, I'm most impressed by the nice loose quality of the mounded soil. Even when the hole is in a hardback clay, by the time the groundHOG has scraped and dug and kicked them out, the stuff is nice fluffy stuff.

I know you like to use those "dirt" for your planting boxes, Bobberman, and the piles the groundHOG made around the rabbit pen might even be "enriched" So you may want to take advantage of this. :wink:

I'm taking advantage of a similar situation -- I just posted this: Subject: My new garden helper -- chipmunk (or mole)
