On Monday evening I put some sunflower seedlings out in the garden putting some cut-off plastic bottles round them to protect from slugs.
Later that evening I looked out of the bedroom window to see a fox with 3 cubs. For the last fortnight I've only seen it with one.
The cubs were chasing each other round the garden, including along the back of the flower bed where I'd put most of the sunflowers. "Oh, dear," I thought.
Next morning I found all the sunflower seedlings in the flower bed had gone, but the 3 in the edges of the veg beds had survived both fox cubs and slugs. One seedling has gone since, but fingers crossed for 2.
