Visited the top of my plot today to discover setts planted in early February are up! About 1" above the overall surface.
A bl**&y mole has cruised along the surface raising the rows about the diameter of a mole. No molehills, just a loose line. Guess he wont go deep for fear of drowning. What do we know about moles? Any fixes in this case?

Some of my onions are showing but no sign of those I sowed first.  They are there though as I had a look for them and dug one up.  No sign of my garlic though, but on further investigation, they are still there and the bulbs are looking healthy still.

It is also aid that burying a bottle in the run/hill upright with an open neck makes a sound they don't like and they scarper not tried that one myself though..
