'I don't know, who has been eating your beans?'

'Well it's funny you should ask that because I don't know either, I have searched caterpillar and slug and snail bite marks and they don't look like my bite mark (well not my own you understand) the one on my bean leaves'.

'Well I'm stumped',

'Mmm so am I' 
'Do you always talk to yourself?' ...

....... 'Who said that?'   :wacko:

perhaps it was a slug needing a jaw re-alignment?  :D

My guess is still slug or snail..the slimy trail gives it away I think

Do you think so Pea pod?

I thought it was too clean and too big a bite but I agree with you about the slime bit.

Well I just hope it has it's biggles' goggles on and can fly and land safely because I shall be out there in the greenhouse tonight and if I find the little blighter he'll be flung very high and very fast  into the field!!

He should think himself lucky that I'm an animal lover or else he'd be having to sew his head back on!!

Thanks anyway hun, I just couldn't think of anything else it could be.

Hi, if it's a big bite it could be a vegetarian crocodile.

Could just be a very large slug?  I lost quite a few beans and courgette and cucumber plants in the greenhouse last year.  Strange thing was, all the pots were standing on small stony things on a huge tray, which i thought would be slug proof.  Thought I'd looked everywhere for the little blighters, but only found them after a long while, stuck on the underneath of the pot itself!!!!

I found one happily munching away on the root of one of my little lads sunflowers when I came to plant them  :mad: :mad: :mad:

Theres an organic spray that may help if you use pots only in the GH, I spray the bottom of the GH and doors (lean to GH), it seems to keep them out pretty much. (now I need something for the spiders... shudder )

Said culprit was found at approximately ................ 9 pm last night.

Climbing on same  bean plant as he/she was on previously.

He/she was brown in colour and approx 1 inch long.

On asked why he/she had returned to the scene of the crime,  he/she couldn't talk very well on account of all the bean leaves stuffed in his/her mouth.

Peapod and Grannie Annie were bang on the mark in with their suspicions, SLUG!!

Much as I would have loved Jay's suggestion of it being a vegetarian crocodile to have been right,  it was just not meant to be  :D

He/she was swiftly picked and flicked (eeuww!)

Hopefully never to return!

His/her family on the other hand .............................  >:(
