What is eating my spuds?

[roitelet]

Dug up some of the spuds and dispite the dreadfully dry weather they are really good but some of them have been eaten. It is obviously a rodent as the teeth marks are clearly visible. Last year the same critter had some of the parsnips leaving only the crown.

I do have a mole problem, could it be them?

more likely to be rats or possibly even large mice. I say large mice in memory of a camping holiday I had in France more than 30 years ago. we were in a field using a tent rented out by one of the holiday companies and I swear the mice under the grounsheet were huge. On a postcard home, I wrote " les souris couris com les chevaux dans la nuit".

Funny to think about it now.

Could be mice, the teeth marks are too small for rats. Would write it in french but my written french is rubbish!!!!!

If Roitelet grows pumpkins they could be matched with the mice for a Cinderella coach

I have had this problem too, and after googling it i have found that voles are the main culprit.
