Which Varmint ate my potato?

[FionaH]

This morning I had lovely green potato shoots. Went out this evening to earth up and one of them was just a stick!! No leaves left nothing.

My guess is a bl@@dy pigeon, do slugs go for potato leaves?
What do you guys reckon?

Slugs

Which Varmint ate my potato?

Oh, Fiona, you poor thing. What a nasty shock If you do find out, please let us all know. I expect there are plenty of Viners following the story.

Poor you, potatoes are deadly nightshade so I would think slugs too, I'm trying chook grit around a lettuce bed/herb bed I made today hoping it works, have sown lollo and red salad bowl in pots just in case (slugs avoid for some reason)

[selfraising]

I think it's slugs too Fi. What a pain!

[FionaH]

Went out with organic pellets earlier, there were loads of snails when we moved the shed at the weekend, maybe it was them grrrrrrrr.

I have slug protection for everything else just didnt think of doing it for the spuds. I am hoping they only got the one plant, wonder if it will grow back? Any ideas?

[Jillyreeves]

Oh Fi your poor spuds.

Never crossed my mind that slugs would eat spuds, better get outside and protect mine.

No idea..but if you wait a while you'll get more shoots...just be ready with your shotgun next time!!!!!
