All my gone too!

Might try the bottle trick next year unless anyone else has a better idea. All the plants were still standing with the corn peeled like a banana and the cobs thorougly munched. We had net around and above and no obvious signs of damage.

skippi, I've split this off on it's own as a new topic.  The one you replied to was from 2007 and there may be some new thoughts on the problem.
