FieldsofThyme	Posted - Aug 29 2011 : 3:58:21 PM My heirloom green bean plants were chewed down to the 1 inch of remaining stem. What animal would do this? Deer? Chickens wouldn't eat the entire plant would they? 2 broccoli plants are ruined too, and not in a row. The sweet corn is next to them and nothing is damaged, and tomatoes in another direction. Any ideas? It's only those bean plants. Good thing I already collected seeds for next year. Would a mole do this?

FieldsofThyme	Posted - Sep 09 2011 : 11:11:15 AM Guess what?! It was my husband who took out my bean plants! I was so shocked I blogged about him too! He was chasing chickens with the lawn mower!!! UGH! I found tire tracks and held him accountable. Sheesh! Farmgirl #800 http://pioneerwomanatheart.blogspot.com/ http://scrapreusedandrecycledartprojects.blogspot.com/
walkinwalkoutcattle	Posted - Sep 02 2011 : 6:20:59 PM I found caterpillars on my beans-the likes of which I've never seen before. Could it be a pest like that?

lisalisa	Posted - Sep 01 2011 : 4:16:12 PM I agree, all of the above. It's been a rough year, I think all of the critters are coming around for the slim pickins in my garden! The ants have eaten things I never thought they would, and then the furry pesks - big and small! - seem to take the rest! The deer seem to especially like my hot peppers, so don't listen to that old wives tale about scaring critters away with hot peppers! Definitely a rough year for humans!
FieldsofThyme	Posted - Aug 30 2011 : 05:42:51 AM We figure it could rabbits or groundhogs. I've alerted our one dog, and have him on patrol. That little booger (or boogers) needs to find a new home. Grrr! I guess we'll see what else has disappeared, after I visit the garden today. Farmgirl #800 http://pioneerwomanatheart.blogspot.com/ http://scrapreusedandrecycledartprojects.blogspot.com/
Aunt Jenny	Posted - Aug 29 2011 : 7:01:34 PM We had a rockchuck visiting our garden at night. Gone now thanks to my 19 year old nephew. Deer will do it too. I think just about any poultry would do a number on young plants. Darn. I hate when that happens!

CMac	Posted - Aug 29 2011 : 6:20:32 PM All of the above! They may come back for the other plants since they finished off their favorite the first strike. Sorry this happened.
