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.
The devastation pictured in this blog post is truly blood curdling and stomach churning. It is depraved to a rank so superhuman it would be considered by some as fanciful.
ReplyDeleteHere's a thought. Some species of Cutworms apparently live in the soil and eat the roots out from under the plant. Might be a potential culprit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutworm
