An unhappy surprise in the greenhouse.....

[waretrop]

Yes and because of the disease, the small tops will dry quickly to dust. I have had this in my mind since you first posted the pic.

Thanks for not taking offense.

@David from Dothan because I don't grow things I just had to google your cilantro to see what they look like and definitely the tops have gone and this link says what mice eat.

Had TWO sprung traps

David if your traps was sprung like you said...i'd reset them add more food like I mentioned and see where you go from there and hopefully you'll catch the blighter...I hate it when things you do get destroyed I brought a nice plant early this year that a slug destroyed caught it 2nd night of looking at 1am in the morning...the things we do

@David from Dothan have you thought about what your going to do?

 

[waretrop]

Maybe if you have a critter that you can not catch, you should think about caging in your pot of plants s that he can't get to them....at least for the moment...

@David from Dothan have you thought about what your going to do?

Yep....gonna be a "do over" on the cilantro and keep the live trap set (just in case).

Ohhh, I'll catch him.......IF he comes back. Hope he got hit on the noggin by the last sprung trap and that it deters him from returning.
