Around these parts, when folks plant things that the
deer don't like, the deer will pull them out and throw
them on the lawn. Maybe something like that happened?


if it is a new plant they're not used to they may
be sampling it. often that is what it looks like
that they are pulling out new plants, but that is only
because the roots have not grown enough yet to keep
the new plant in the ground when it is being sampled.

like any person who eats something they don't like
they bite off some and then spit it out when it doesn't
taste right.

it happens here quite often...

Ya, bugs too. I will find some of my leaves with all
kinds of holes in them. Then they leave the alone.
