One or two look as if they have been cut. I am inclined to support the
2-legged theory. -- Baal I smile and go off waving (Amiably) - for that's my way http://www.helden.org.uk "shazzbat" wrote in message ...

If not deer, what? One or two look as if they have been cut. I am inclined to support the 2-legged theory. I'm with the two legged villain theory. A friend had lots of stuff missing on their site just as it became ready for harvest and they were all looking at each other. One morning he couldn't sleep and wandered over to the site very early to find a Chinese lady helping herself to all the produce! A Chinese Takeaway. -- Regards Bob Hobden W.of London. UK |

It does look like deer damage to me? Are any of your other plants affected, roses? Peas? We have no roses on the allotment. Peas are close to the lettuce, but not touched. We went there again this evening, and now some potatoes are eaten off, and there are some not very good prints near the lettuce. http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t.../029Jun001.jpg http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t.../029Jun002.jpg I don't think people would have eaten the spuds off. The strange thing is the beans are untouched. I've heard deer are fond of beans. Steve |
