So mom's been wondering why Gustav Groundhog hasn't mowed down the basil, while chard, lettuce, raddichio, parsley, kale, beet tops, carrot tops, etc. have all been munched with enthusiasm. Turns out they don't like plants with strong scents. He hasn't touched the mint either. Who knew? #GroundhogsOfMastodon

Heading for the one green patch that's managed to escape the drought. Mom is so besotted with the resident groundhog that she dumps a bucket of lake water on this downslope every day. #GroundhogsOfMastodon #3WeeksWithoutRain

Happy Civic Holiday! Get to know your neighbo(u)r, share a meal. #ChipmunksOfMastodon #GroundhogsOfMastodon #CivicHoliday

A couple friends stopped by for lunch. Mom thinks they're super cute. But, um, look at their ears. Then look at mine. Us buns (with at least one notable exception) have long, luxurious ears! Right, Skye? @Satori

Johnny jump-ups surrounded by portulacas, RIP #GroundhogsOfMastodon #finedining

After a main course of garden-fresh leaf lettuce and radicchio, with a side of rainbow chard, a wild plantain and clover dessert hits the spot. He's been camera-shy for weeks, so hopefully he's finally overcoming some trust issues. Pics for Produce, that's the deal.

Went to harvest some chard, saw a brown blur, and found this smol baby 10 ft up a tree (I'm on a rock). Talked softly, talked him down. At this level of cuteness, the entire garden now belongs to him. Minus the basil, please leave us some. #GroundhogsOfMastodon #BabyGroundhog #YesTheyCanClimbTrees

Don't bite his bum!
Baby ground hog antics.
