What's eating our rhubarb??
"SusieThompson" wrote in message ... We're starting to eat the first of our rhubarb and very good it is. But we suddenly have a problem. I went out this morning to find that a lot of the larger younger leaves have been stripped right down to the main veins, leaving just a ragged skeleton. No holes in the leaves, just the leaves chewed right back. I I didn't think anything ate rhubarb leaves, given that they're known to be poisonous. Has anybody any idea who or what the culprits might be? Thanks Susie -- Susie Thompson, Isle of Arran SPAM BLOCK IN OPERATION! Replace "deadspam.com" with "arrandragons.co.uk" to reply by e-mail. Snails and slugs love rhubarb. I suggest you pay a visit after dark in order to confirm or disprove this theory. Regards, Emrys Davies. |

Did you have a peep at night to eliminate the slug/snail theory? |
