A Garden Mystery

Something has been eating my broccoli and cauliflower plants leaves.  Nibbling down to the stems and stripping all the leaves off.  ~grrr~

I first thought I was dealing with a caterpillar but couldn't find them, but I sprayed with BT anyways.  Nope, still more damage.

Then I put on row covers.  Whatever it is tried to chew through the row covers to the plants.  Did more of a gumming like a baby teething than any real damage.

I thought I had won at this point, but nope.  The critter (I now think it's a critter and not an insect) figured out how to get under the row cover!  ~bleah~

Tightened row covers up.  Success?  Nope.  Now it's after my lettuce.  ~ugh!~

So, today I covered the lettuce with a row cover.

This weekend I need to do some cleaning in the garden area.  In the area there is a corner where there are lots of bushes and great places for a critter to hide.  When cleaning I wouldn't be surprised if I flush something out.

I hope it's not cute.  It's hard to maim and kill something when it's cute. 

I'll let you know how it goes.
