On the allotment as soon as they grow. I don't know if it's rabbits or slugs. If I plant them when they are about 8 inch tall do you think they'd have a better chance?

Not if its rabbits. -
Same happened to me last year, twice. I gave up! I think it was rabbits because they were completely eaten down to the stalks. Every plant, both times. Try constructing a net barrier around them. It will probably have to remain in place all season if it's rabbits because they'll nibble through the stems at the bottom!Comment

Pigeons are also partial to the lower plant leavesComment

Whatever it is is also nibbling my tomato plants but only the little ones.Comment

2 weeks ago I lifted 20 CFB plants & put them back into pots as they were getting munched. They are now starting to regrow but I'm still undecided when & how to re-plant them..............You are not alone.sigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”

Last year in the very wet early summer my runner beans were completely demolished by slugs and snails. I planted some more in a 30 litre bucket and despite still being a little bit nibbled they did manage to grow and give a decent crop.A life is like a garden.
