nibbled carrots
« on: August 06, 2004, 12:11:33 »
Oh yes - another one I forgot to ask:

I harvested my pot of carrots with the dried up foliage on wednesday (we had them roasted with other veggies and they were yummy!) They were actually a decent baby size too.

Anyway - two of them had been nibbled. I thought if it was carrot fly the holes would be smaller - these were like I'd taken a bite out of them (on the side, near the top). But I know it wasn't me - so what might it have been?
gone to pot :D

don't think slugs could climb up to where they were growing. Also if it was them - they avoided my baby delphiniums, which i do not believe they'd do.
