You and dear hubby! I have yet to tell him, that the gardeners we have are known for nesting under cement foundations in the winter. I've read that they'll congregate from miles (2 maybe) around and hibernate together under a cement slab or building in an area they excavate. I'm certain that's the holes I see going under his garage behind my larger hosta next to it. They are there every year. Funny thing is, the area is directly under his space type heater in the garage. Think maybe it keeps their den warm? I'll never tell him though, b/c I'm certain that's why I never have rodent (aka: moles, voles and other varmits) in that garden!
