Any idea what has eaten my potato flowers? Every single one even the ones planted in pots. Too high for rabbits and no sign of any caterpillars etc. Thankyou

    Hello Gwennie. Do you have pigeons around you as they will peck at flowers? Its a good job you don't need the flowers.

    the flowers are not needed to produce the crop, a useful indicator but not much else.
    What underground should be fine.

    Thanks everyone. Yes I know you don’t need the flowers but was intrigued. Yes we have plenty of pigeons!!!
