This morning when I got up and went outside to look at what I had planted, yesterday I was shocked. The green beans had been torn out of there spot and there was an enormous hole in the middle of the spinach row. I checked the Mesclun, lettuce, onions, and all of Patch. They were completely fine. That seemed extremely strange to me because two plots of Mesclun seeds that had partly germinated, which is amazing in 1 day, were left untouched as well as actual lettuce and onion bulbs. All of the stuff that seemed more "edible" was untouched. I still can't figure out if a rat or bunny dug up the seeds to be little sucks or the rain we got last night was too hard.
I replanted what was left of the green bean seeds. Pulled out the mutilated newspaper strips and left the rest as is because I was just so shocked. My radish and carrot seeds weren't destroyed. I think it may have something to do with the compost not the seeds but if that was the case the lettuce and onions should have been destroyed as well or maybe not because they are large.
I watered the seeds with 3.99 parts water to .01 parts Epsom salt to give them a boost after there trauma. I watered everything in Patch, the greenhouse and the Topsy Turvy then went inside for the day. The shock of finding Potagar Schoultz mutilated was just to much. I needed a break from the garden to ponder the cause. It is just so strange considering that I've had no trouble with Patch so far... Why would the first Potagar box be so damaged overnight when Patch has been planted for almost 2 weeks. It just seems weird and confusing. We have to put the fence up and the lights out as soon as possible. If it was the rain and it just washed the seeds out well okay but why wasn't the Mesclun washed out?
This is going to haunt me until I find out what destroy such a beautifully planted bed.
I didn't take pictures but I will before i fix the spinach and I'll post them with tomorrow's entry. Weird, shock, weirder.
Garden pests are the pits!
