To add my grumble to the sweetcorn thread, some little bugger has been into the
greenhouse and munched right along the row of stupidly expensive purple mangetout
and nipped them all off at the base of the shoot. :'(
(Why do these things never eat the cheap ones!)
I'm guessing a mouse, although I did find a snail on an upper shelf, but no
snailtrail around the pea area. (Whatever it is has also had a bit of a go at
some of the others, I think. Or else was just careless with the remains and
they are scattered on the other half-pipes. But nearly all my Shiraz mangetout
are goners)
