I was going to go and get some verve compost this morning but I had my daily look inside my unfinished greenhouse and noticed my lovely comfrey leaves and some seedling leeks had been attacked by some unknown intruder, I first thought It might be pigeons but realised the pots would have been all over the place, some of the pigeons around here are bigger than the cats , the damage to the comfrey was mainly the thicker stems near the crown and they look like a clean cut across the stem, not what a rodent would do, its hard to tell what happened to the leek seedlings, they just look like they have been savaged, I have boarded up the few remaining holes and will see what tomorrow brings, sigh Dave

How strange! I have absolutely no idea except the usual culprits such as birds, foxes, wabbits and deer etc. Luckily, comfrey will grow again but not sure about the leeks unless you have more leaves coming lower down to keep them going. What a shame and I hope all will be ok soon.

Thanks GG, looked in this morning and all is well in the gardening world, I can always start off some more leek seeds and it was a wake up call to get my greenhouse water and wind tight, cheers Dave

Plenty of time to sow more leeks and they will probably catch up to the state yours were before they got trashed. I'm going to go for wabbits as the nice young comfrey shoots and leeks would have been a tender treat.
