Topic: What likes to eat celeriac

[Jessie]

Something has been eating one of my celeriac plants. It has a large (gold ball size) circular hole on the side of the root or bulb. Is it likely to be a mouse? I have also noticed slugs on the stems of the celeriac, will they cause damage to the bulb?

[Jessie]

It is strange because only one plant has been eaten, I'm concerned that whatever it is will move to the others when it's finished with this one. I lifted one celeriac yesterday but it's a little on the small side still so they will need a few more weeks to grow larger before lifting.

It could be a RAT? My lottie neighbour was exhibiting a prize spud (he could just hold it in his two hands) then turned it over to reveal similar chompage. He got the rat and showed us that too :-X

I've had chompage on a few of my spuds too, which I think has to be down to rats.
