Why are my veg at home being disturbed- Squirrel 🐿

Hi all due to the lock down I have tried to grow some veg at home but something seems to be disturbing the soil. I have a tub with carrot seeds germinated but overnight the seedlings are in a mess. Likewise planted out some rocket seedlings in a tomato bag from last year only to find a pit created overnight at one end. All seems very odd! I have had unwelcome visits from a cat to my asparagus at home but that only seems to leave “gifts” not dig pits in the surface of the soil. Appreciate any thoughts thanks HH

Birds will dig in the soil for food, particularly if it's soft, I've got a blackbird digging deep enough to uproot my shallots at the moment!

As above I watched a Blackbird digging in my pea bed other day it must have scratted down a good inch luckily the peas are too big for them to pull out. With Carrot seeds just cover with fleece or fine netting and that should solve your problem.

Many thanks will cover!! HH
