Yes it could be birds eating the leaves but they do look chewed rather than pecked. There are plenty of birds around including collard doves. I'm trying to be more observant but of course, I'm not always here.AlisonChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05581689773980266031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059858774072695860.post-7043263818101902132017-02-07T08:10:30.959+00:002017-02-07T08:10:30.959+00:00Ah squirrels, I hadn't thought of that.

It's ertainly very sweet :) I know what you mean about these coloured primulas, but they are always a welcome splash of colour. Mine rarely look perfect though, as they get pecked, I think by woodpigeons or collared doves. Could it be these that have had your beetroot foliage? Interesting to read about your seed experiments - what a good gernmination rateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059858774072695860.post-26107598206441584882017-02-06T20:23:46.688+00:002017-02-06T20:23:46.688+00:00Your tiny vase is adorable, Alison!

I've no experience with either rabbits or deer so I can't provide input on the likelihood that one or the other is your mystery intruder. The main pests here are raccoons, skunks and squirrels. The first 2 are focused on grubs rather than plants but the squirrels here do eat some flowers and, I suspect, may also be responsible for chomping some of my succulents to the ground.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.com
