Garden devastation

Argggh!

Everything, well, everything soft green and tasty, has been chewed down to the stalk. Cabbages, caulis, lettuce and a whole bed of seedlings - shredded. And I know who it is too - the bloody mini-pecks. They've never done it before, and I've had them for six years. Why now? Suddenly their dietary preference includes human food.

They are in serious danger of becoming human food themselves if they don't cut it out.

One more week of running about like a screaming banshee, brandishing dangerous garden weaponry, and that's it. If they fail to cease and desist, they are up for the chop.

  2. I've read that they're edible - stirfry I reckon. With lots of chilli and garlic.

    Just about anything is edible with enough chili and garlic.
