Mystery solved!
« on: August 22, 2013, 08:48:24 pm »
I was harvesting beet root today and noticed the leaves had been eaten, an d the tops if the chard were missing. I have just been down the paddock to shut the hen house and found the culprit- a roe deer enjoying my hard work! They appear in the woods near us, but today s the first time I have caught one snacking on my veg patch.

maybe its the Chard as my neighbour was invaded by roe deer last year and they at a long row of the stuff. She has no Chard this year and I have seen no evidence of visitors when I pop up to collect her spare cauliflowers for my pigs.
