toms cut off at two inches
« on: May 30, 2011, 21:32 »
I have had three plantings of two plants each in the same small raised bed cut off and dragged to a sheltered corner of the bed. All six plants have been about two feet tall and as far as I can see not much has been eaten. Emptied the entire bed this evening to see if anything was living there but found nothing.
 Anyone guess what my problem is and can I kill it with a stick?
 Taller beds with toms in are untouched.

Chewed and removed has to be some sort of small mamal. I can't think of a bird that would bother much with tomatoes.  :blink:

Were the plants staked? It couldn't be wind damage could it? :unsure:
Strange.
Never keep your wish-bone where your back-bone ought to be.

beds inside greenhouse Learner so will not be wind, but with you on the mammal thing.Decided to try for the fourth time and surround plants with mousetraps.............land mines and small explosive charges crossed my mind but might count as over the top.

Inside? Right....

Mice.  >:( Although I've no experience of them (touch wwood) damaging any veg. Lucky I guess.  ;)

Landmines sounds wonderful - hope the greenhouse is polycarbonate though  :blink:
