Sowed the replacement beans in paraffin and resowed. At the same time I placed three mouse traps baited with peanut butter. Went down this am a few more holes along the bean row and all three traps gone. going down the garden to the compost heap I found one trap about 15 meters from its original position and over a 4ft fence. Is it a reasonable assumption to think that some bird/s of prey have snaffled the dead mice and taken the traps with them? I had most of my early broad beans dug up last year - but by squirrels ! and also a cock pheasant! We've had a cock pheasant on the lawn scrounging peanuts, just recently. They're shameless! I sow our broad beans, and other beans in pots and then plant out. That way there are no gaps in the row. Steve |
