Title: parsnip nicked
Post by: dirty fingers on June 24, 2010, 18:31:45
hello all, hear's my problem i went over my plot just now to check my bits and bobs and what do you know one of my parsnip's has been swiped, there was a hole where a parsnip one's stood. i don't know what has done this? i don't think its thieves as not only is there only one missing but no foot prints. anyone got any ideas and also how to stop this. it is quite funny now but i dont think ill find very funny if they all go missing

oh dear. Surely they're too small to be of any use to anyone? or is that just mine?

but was it pulled up.........or pulled down.  :o

pulled up it was, well i think. i didn't think if pulling down,  the hole looked like it had been dug but there was no pile of soil at the side. i also thought no use to anything as they are to small. may be that's why only one went the thieve couldn't be bothered with the effort

they were seeing how big they were. They'll be back I expect. Bummer, eh?
