Just thought I'd share what we discovered today down the allotment. We built a coldframe to start off early carrots a few months ago and they are coming on really well now. But as the weather is better, I've just left the lid off and so it is a nice box with soft compost and young plants in.
We arrived down there this morning to find that there had been a big hole dug in there and a pile of soil/seedlings in the corner. My initial reaction was that a cat had seen it as a lovely loo-tray, but once I got to rescuing what I could of the carrots, I discovered a huge rat buried there!
I reckon it was a fox - what do you think?
I half expect to get down there tomorrow to find the whole thing dug up as he couldn't find his snack!
