This is hilarious . . . photos at the link!

Growing a vegetable garden can be difficult due to unpredictable weather and thieves.

Jeff Permar planted the seeds and took all the necessary precautions to protect his growing veggies. He was no stranger to wild animals attempting to help themselves to his lush garden, but thought a wire fence and scarecrow would deter most of them.

One day he noticed that there were chunks missing from multiple tomatoes and was determined to find the culprit. Jeff placed motion cameras on his garden and was shocked by what he saw. His phone sent him a motion notification and when he opened it he saw a groundhog pop up right in front of the camera.

EDIT: He's got a YouTube channel, too!

1. I love this! Thanks!

A family of groundhogs eventually came to live under my shed... We’d toss them an occasional apple, really enjoyed watching them...

3. A man has to eat.

So too, groundhogs.

At least they are cute and pose well for their pictures and video. The mice and rats that decimate my fig tree fruit every year, not so much.

5. Fairs's fair. The hog does a lot more good and actually eats a whole veg.

6. They were mowing my kale and lettuce to the dirt.

I already have an 8' fence for the Deer I added electric to the bottom for groundhogs. Cute to watch a video but put weeks in the garden to come out and see it gone is WAR. Happily since I put the electric they do not get in, just chipmunks which do not take much.

8. As a gardener, I say NOT CUTE

This guy is going to regret it when a dozen groundhogs have undermined his buildings.

10. I know, those huge holes are a danger to animals and people

They are a big problem when they get in big colonies. Luckily, I have shale most everywhere. I bring in soil for establishing gardens. They don't like digging in rock so they stay away for the most part. But my idiot neighbor is nurturing a family of groundhogs in her driveway. The huge holes in her driveway are everywhere.
