chrysanthemums!

do cats eat them? just that i had some bloom 'mums in my garden, on one side they are growing fine, but on the othere side they have disappeared! i only planted them last week and all i have left are little sticks out of the ground! my osterpermums are fine, in fact they love my garden! the only explanation i can think of is that my cats have eaten them!

Cats can take a fancy to the oddest things...but if I were you I would check for slugs, who can be picky eaters and will strip plants as you suggest.

thanks! i'd forgotton about that! i have a fair few slugs and snails in my garden! strange they've only eaten those on the left of my garden! i wondered about cats you see as they ate my herb garden!
