I have never heard of a mouse eating such things. Maybe our country mice like other stuff like wheat and chook food.

Never heard of mice eating those things either, could it be a possum?

We have most of our veg in a caged veg patch because of possums. Grrr. But planted a rhubarb plant in one of the half barrels we have and they ate all the leaves!!!!! I thought the leaves would make them sick. The rhubarb stalks were left standing bare and of course withered up.

Chewed the stalks on the sweet chilli. Left the basil and rosemary.
Had a go at the parsley.
Ate the sweet chilli and celery.

Sounds like slugs or snails to me. Try sprinkling eggs shells around that have been crushed up in the TM. Works a treat not on caterpillars though. Three or four eggs shells and one cup of water blitzed for about 5 seceonds on speed 5. Not too fine just in little bits.

Will have to try the egg mix lucyluu. Was also considering making up a garlic and chilli water spray.

I will have to try the egg mix too
Well instead of our wicking beds taking one weekend, I think they will take two :/
It is a very long process as you must level the ground underneath so the water doesn't pool in one spot. We also have to carefully waterproof where the pipes go through the plastic lining. Two trips to the landscape supplies shop plus two trips to Bunnings. Can't wait to plant them out

I have this amazing tomato plant. It was really tiny when I planted it and left to fend for itself because I haven't had time to tend to it and it has probably 60 tomatoes on it. I had to cover it up to protect it from the birds. It's the best plant I've ever had.

Nice to see you popping in to post

Our kitchen verandah garden is coming along nicely. DH set some mouse traps tonight. Whatever is eating our celery also got away with the mouse trap loot last night. So we try again. Beautiful tomatoes mcmich. We need to get up to our community garden to pick our capsicums!

That's sneaky INAID!
Our first two wicking beds are well under way with all the tricky parts done
I was super happy last night when we checked that it was all water tight and the water level stayed the same over night
All that's left to do now is lay the geotextile on top of the rocks, then the soil and compost and mulch and then PLANTS!!! Yay!

The fruit of my neglected plant.
I'm getting about this amount of tomatoes every other day. Will take them into work.
