Went to have a look at my Runner beans this morning and around 20 ft of
them have been wiped out.
What I assume to be a squirrel has cropped them from around 6 inches to
around 15 inches, also chewed the netting as well.
Also a few dwarf peas I'd sown have also been cleared almost to the
ground.
As there's electric netting around the patch I doubt it's rabbits.

A couple of rabbits got in before you installed the electric netting


The netting has been up for around 12 weeks now, I think I would have seen
it as the ground was empty when I put the fence up.


I've never known squirrels to do this. My money is on still on a couple
of rabbits that you missed.
