What eats the fruit?
One of ours has been devastated and literally eaten overnight......
it doesn't look like a human!
I can only think of slugs. Is bunnies a possibility ?
Rats devoured eight of my squash stored in my shed last year. :( I am going to store them in the garage this year.
Possibly slugs... but could be anything. Of course can't find the offending creatures anywhere.....
Foxes scoff our marrows!
I've taken some small creamy coloured slugs off my Marina di Chioggia :o :o I put a box with slug pellets in it under it so hopefully that will do the trick.
Biggest pumpkin pest?
My mum!
::)
Came back from holiday to find that:
a) Pumpkin on allotment had been stolen/vandalised.
b) Pumpkin in back garden had been de-nuded by my mum... 'lovely cougettes, dear' !!!
c) Courgette plants in back garden (to which mum had been physically steered, pre-holiday) had round courgettes the size of footballs on them.
:'(
AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Oh dear :'( You just can't get the staff these days :( Sorry to hear about your vandalism/thefts :(
Sorry to hear about the lottie pumpkins Gadfium. I was hoping they weren't really a target til Halloween and could be lifted before then.
