We get field mice in our house come Winter. A few traps in the basement and some mouse poison in the garage usually takes care of the problem. How did I know we had mice or at least a mouse? One of my three Stevia seedlings is gone. The tall fennel seedlings show signs of being bent and stomped. The parsley transplant has a hole dug in it and another seed cell has been dug up. The culprit a mouse.

The fennel in the back is pushed over and you can see piece in the middle bent. The cell right in front had 1 Stevia seedling starting. Only three Stevia seeds sprouted out of 12. Below is a hole dug by the mouse in the parsley transplant.

One for the mouse, one for the crow, one to rot, one to grow. I guess you have the mouse covered. =)
ReplyDeleteThe crows will get my blueberries and raspberries. The wasps get my figs. And don't forget about the hedgehog. Likes to bite a tomato and move on to the next one. Seems to only sample. Good Growing!
