What does a groundhog like to eat
In the wild they eat foliage, nuts, grains, ferns, flowers, grass and fruit. Favourites are chickweed, dandelion, clover, plantains, asters and sorrel. They love juicy plants, cherries and blackberries. They also readily eat cultivated crops like peas, lettuce, beans, squash, broccoli, corn and soybeans. Fully mature groundhogs can eat a lot of plant matter -- more than a pound daily.
They are not completely herbiverous. They occasionally eat snails, june bugs, grasshoppers and small bird eggs.
If you plan to have one as a pet, be aware it needs a lot of space, will chew everthing in sight, doesn't like cuddling, and will hibernate in winter. In some States they are ******* as pets, so check that. You might also consider having a rabies shot as they can carry that.

I am sorry that you are having this problem, getting weeds in the middle of winter is not a fun thing to deal with. My sister was having a similar problem last year. No matter how many times she pulled up the plant it kept coming back. It seems like it might be a good idea to get a weed control service to come and check what kind of weed your is and hopefully they can get rid of it.
