In a previous garden I watched a neighbour's dog bury an unopened pack of bacon. When I was sure the dog had gone I dug it up, only to find some sliced white bread under there too. Obviously intended having bacon butties at some point! I presumed the bacon was the neighbour's but I didn't return the pack, I just binned it as their dogs kept everyone well away from their door.
If the bacon was a sealed pack and you saw when it was buried did you not open and sniff it before binning it ? Waste not, want not Agree about the sliced white bread tho - inedible even without being buried
I well I’m glad you have eggs in ya gardens😂,,,,, cos I thought my kids were playing jokes on me an putting the eggs in my garden,thinking no one or nothing else could of,,,,,,,,,, well kids sorry for blaming you 😂😂😂😂😂 it was indeed the 🦊. This is way to funny
Today when I was emptying the compost from the pots I had grown tomatoes this year, I found 2 stamped eggs, one with an expiry date in June. It must've been buried by Mr. 🦊 soon after I had potted up the plants and moved them outside. Still 2 eggs from 8 pots means 🦊 🦊 are very active in my suburban garden.

I find whole buried eggs quite often. It amazes me that animals could be so gentle with them, carrying eggs around the place without breaking them. My delivery guy can't seem to manage it.

No, I didn't! Not once that dog had carted it all that way. It was pretty battered. This was thirty or more years ago, not sure if we even had dates on food back then. 🤔 The bread was surprisingly clean, I remember.
I remembered another incident, in my present garden. I was clearing the ashes away with a shovel after a bonfire. To my surprise I sliced a hard boiled egg clean in two with the shovel. It was a total mystery to me how the egg had got there. Now I know. A fox. But did I build my fire over a buried egg or did the fox bury it in the warm ashes to cook?
