Warning: this post may contain disturbing images and acrimonious sentiment directed primarily at nature and, well, the entire world.
Just as my veggie patch was starting to flourish, some evil, nameless, faceless creature decided to sever ALL of my biggest, strongest and most promising plants from their roots, leaving their bare stubs poking aimlessly out of the ground.
And as if to rub salt in the wound, the precious plant stalks and leaves haven't even served a useful purpose in nature's food chain - they've just been scattered carelessly across my garden beds. Total pointless destruction. Who or what could it be? I can only think of a nasty crow or similar. It can't be rabbits because they would have surely eaten their loot.
