Why are you blaming mice?

I have had over a 50% failure rate on broad beans, though SOME of
those may recover. This is some kind of rot that hits germinating
peas and beans in my garden. I have had a 95% failure rate on
dwarf beans and an 80% one on peas in the past.

Little holes where peas should be, signs of digging, lots of mice about, no
peas in the ground when I've looked.
