     i have three broccoli plants and   
   three cauliflower plants.  four days   
   ago they were looking ok.  today all but   
   one of the plants is eaten back to the   
   ribs/ridges of the leaves and the   
   broccoli flower heads are gone too.   
      
     probably the groundhog got them.   
      
     i hate to have to trap animals to   
   deal with, but this one is being a lot   
   more intrusive into the fenced gardens   
   than usual.  :(
