Missing shallots
« on: April 19, 2016, 15:56:23 »
Hello all.

I've been leaving my shallots (in modules) out in the garden the last couple of days ready to take up the plot. To my suprise I found 3 were missing and 1 was by the tray with it's root ball intact. On scouting around the garden I found just one of the missing shallots with the green tops pecked or eaten off. I've never experienced this before. Is this a bird or animal? Any ideas of what has been taking my shallots?

Regards

I can believe that. We have seen crows pulling up our plant labels.
