What is eating my aubergine
« on: September 02, 2009, 07:32:23 »
Hi
After many months of tender loving care I picked my 1st aubergine at the weekend. But it has a small(ish) round hole where something has had a munch on it. What critter could do this? I was wondering if it was a wasp as the plant is in a friends greenhouse and there were wasps earlier on in the greenhouse, but having had a chat about it someone else suggested woodlice

Any ideas?

thanks

That's the flower end... but slugs and snails love them... and then the woodlice follow up...  :-\
