Deeply Rooted
I have planted two batches of tomatoes so far. Twenty the first time, and within a couple of days half of them were gone. Just... gone. It was very windy, and I think they got nipped off and blew away. So, I planted 15 more. Went out a day or so later, and found more of my tomatoes with the leaves all laying in a pile around the stem. So, I thought it was cutworms. Dusted with Sevin two days ago, went out to look today, and all but two are gone! I have some stems with leaves on the ground around them, some stems chewed or bit off at ground level, and some plants completely gone. Whatever it is has started on my newly-growing pole beans, and it (or something else) is also in my strawberries. Again, leaves nipped off, plus the stem with the berries cut off. This is the 3rd year with my garden where it is, and I've never had this much trouble! We also have deer that have walked through the garden, and the bunnies are starting on my peas (planning on getting some fence up tomorrow), but I don't think either of them is doing the above-mentioned damage. Any ideas out there?
