When we came back a few days later - it was gone! A friend of mine said a squirrel could have picked it, or maybe even a raccoon.
Charlotte and I discussed this traumatic turn of events and later she emailed me to say:
I went down to the garden this afternoon and I was missing a little small eggplant that had just started to form. I forgot that I did have a squash go missing while I was gone to Natchez. I had a patty pan squash that was pretty big and was expecting it to be almost big enough to pick when I got back. However it was gone when I got back. That's why I put the wire cages around them. Don't know why something would choose a small undeveloped eggplant over several big peppers right in the same area. Guess it's just one of those things we're going to have happen from time to time! I may look for some more netting like I have over my strawberries. I've had it for a long time but I'm thinking I probably bought it somewhere like Home Depot.
Anyone else had veggies missing?
