Sweetcorn.  Year 1 - rained off, year 2 - stunted and cobs not formed, year 3, wonderful cobs, due for picking later that week.  Squirrels or rats got THE WHOLE LOT.  That's right, each cob, leaves, silk and all.  Each succulent tiny little yellow grain .....gone.  I am as devasted as my sweetcorn, and I will never grow them again.

Really sorry to hear that especially after 3 years waiting for a good crop. I can imagine exactly how you feel.  :(

I'm giving up on celery. I just dont have the time to water it as much as it needs and although it appears to grow well the stalks are just too stringy even for cooking.
