I went up to the allotment yesterday, and nearly broke down and cried.
All of my runner beans have gone. Lock stock and barrel. A neighbour
told me that a deer had been seen on the site, and another guy next to
me had lost all of his beans as well.
The beans were netted at the bottom of each wigwam of canes, but he(she)
still got at them. The peas were spared as they have only just broken
through, and I had laid a net across the top of them, prior to putting
in pea sticks.
Well, along with the rabbits and pigeons we now have deer to contend
with.
It's an expensive hobby, feeding the wildlife. I don't begrudge the
local ducks a bit of stale bread, but this is ridiculous.
