I was wondering if you may help me. I am having a terrible time in my garden this year. All my pepper, tomato and spinach have been eaten. I recently planted a new row of spinach. After the plants sprouted, one morning I found all the plants gone and there was a row dug out where the sprout line was.
Same with my pepper plants. When one sprouted, the next morning the plant was gone and there was a hole where it used to be. Over and over, all my plants.
Do you know what might be doing this?
Thank you,
