    Evening all :)

    Question for the gardeners amongst us.

    My seddling nasturtiums were doing very well, onto their 3rd set of leaves.

    Yesterday, found a few leaves broken off, and wilting, rest of plant was fine.

    Today, more leaves broken off, and 2 plants missing completely!

    Now, pretty sure slugs would have left tell tale signs, and eaten the broken off leaves. Snails equally so. No sign of leaves or stems having been munched on.

    So, what are the chances birds are pecking off the leaves for some reason?

    But not sure why 2 plants have disappeared completely?

    Any ideas folks?

    :mad: at my nasturtium damagers :mad:

    Don't know about nasturtiums, but I know mice ate my tomatoes once, knew we had them visiting the shed but made the mistake of uncovering the tomatoes - next morning a whole seed tray of them had totally disappeared :eek::eek:
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    Thanks Enterprise. It could be mice, but I would expect the leaves to be nibbled in places. The broken off leaves appear whole, just broken off the stem.

    And unless someone has extraordinarily long arms, they're not being stolen from over the fence for salads either!

    Have to agree with Nanny, here. The best feeling in the world!

    Glad you had such a great day, Nanny.

    Mine didn't go so well. I went out with OH, DD, sis and mum&dad for fish and chips by the canal. I was 14 minutes late to the car and Mrs Warden was writing the ticket for my car. I simply got in and drove away after she'd got her photo of it on my screen. I was, and still am very mad but alas, such is life. I'll jsut hammer Tosco tonight with £5 vouchers to make the £25 fine up.

    Dad's group breakfast tomorrow so it's off to buy the sausages and bacon - nom nom.

    Have a good evening, all.

    PS - Just finished my BMW report - phew! :A

    Pretty sure it sounds like slugs/snails MW. I have the same problem with begonias/geraniums and think they eat all the best bits and thenthe plant shrivels and dies back:(

    You'll want more than 8 gb, really 32/64 is the bare minimum you should look for, IMHO

    250g grated cheese
    4 slices of bread (white or brown)
    3 fresh green chillies (and any other spices you may want to add)
    1 egg to dip the balls in
    Breadcrumbs to coat
    Salt and pepper to taste
    Oil for frying

    Soak the bread in cold water. Once fully soaked, remove water and squeeze out all excess liquid. Put bread in a large mixing bowl and add the grated cheese (perfect if you can get some of the cheapo grated cheese from Sada). Add the chillies, salt, pepper and any other spices or herb you may wish to add. Mix thoroughly and make into little balls or patties. Dip these in the egg and then coat with the breadcrumbs. Then either shallow fry or deep fry until golden. Serve with a spicy tomato dip / cucumber mint raita or anything that takes your fancy and voila, they will all be gone in no time.

    I would post a photo but they have all been gobbled up. Also, you could add anything else to the mixture such as fish, tuna, chicken or even vegetables.

    Flo i have been on the phone for 1/2 hr or so :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    Mimmi thanks will give these a try , i still have loads of cheese from last glitch :T:T:T
