Lightbulb ANYONE could have eaten it.
Where we are up North ---

slugs and snails
crickets
grasshoppers
voles
DEER
rabbits

I've had whole plants disappear in one day up there. It feels like the whole world against me sometimes!
So I have decided on container gardening. This is working much better.
(so far).

Also I found a tip on the net which I am also going to try...
Shavings of Irish Spring soap, to protect plants from being eaten.
Sprinkled around the base of things you want to protect. They dissolve in
about a month or 2 depending on rain fall amount.

I bought the Deer Fortress, and will try those too.
