The damned marmot has eaten ALL of my lettuce. The marmot also appears to have three offspring, who are doubtless not guiltless in the disappearance of my lettuce.

There will be inhumane relocation procedures as soon as I can figure out how to do it. Tomorrow moonandtree and I will be netting the rest of the garden.

Did I mention that ALL THE LETTUCE IS GONE?

ARGH!

There are marmots in Canada? OH, ok, I googled, those are groundhogs. Still, marmots? Bonus points for use of that word. Alas, I am unable to ship any lettuce to you at this point in time.

Groundhogs are smaller, as I've had it explained to me.

We will plant more lettuce, net the garden, and then get rid of the little bugger.

I'm thinking the netting won't work, they'll just mangle it...you may want to try chicken wire and making like a removable top to cover the lettuce they are quite adaptable they ate my cucumbers and herbs last year I'm setting the trap tomorrow...good luck

Marmots v. Groundhogs

No, marmots are different. You and I have groundhogs.

Canada and Washington State have marmots.

And they eat the rubber out of car engines, probably for the road salt on it.
