...that woodchucks love chamomile? This particular woodchuck, who I've recently made acquaintance with, enjoys most herbs (dill and cilantro also being, in his book, "choice edibles"). Though we are Arch Enemies, he and I agree on a lot. For instance, he prefers kale to lettuce, just like me. (I didn't know this, but if you're dining al fresco, a cushion of lettuce is good for sitting on, while you're eating the kale.)
And here is something else I've learned, which I'll share because I think it might be helpful. Do you have a "jet" setting on your hose nozzle? People probably use it to clean their cars, I don't know - but I like to hide behind my gooseberry bush and then, when my woodchuck comes around the corner on his way to the vegetable patch, I blast him with it. If I get good contact, he doesn't return for at least twelve hours.

Would you please draw a picture of you hiding behind the gooseberry bush with your hose, spraying the woodchuck with a sharp jet of water? Please!?
I love that picture!!!
Aww, he looks so cute... Your drawing of him is so sympathetic, one would never suspect you were a gardener (since gardening, I see bunnies as ravenous bullies with giant teeth, and have ceased to find them cute).
Good to know about your blog i like it..
Thank you for post..
Like this charming little woodchuck, I love visiting your garden thru your blog. Who can blame him? Between this cute guy and that sweet story about the rose at the chicken coop, you could create a wonderful children's picture book!
