Ravaged Peanuts -- Green Bean Day, 23rd of Harvest, Year 225

[neotoma]

I got two more peanut plants a week ago and planted them. When I checked them today, the leaves had been eaten all the way to the stems -- something in the area really likes peanut leaves.

I'm not sure if I suspect the bunnies or not -- we definitely have rabbits here, little cottontails that are about the size of guinea pigs -- but caterpillars are also a possibility.

There's a cookout with potluck deserts at work on Friday. I'm debating bringing honey cupcakes or cherry clafoutis -- either way, a non-chocolate desert would probably be a welcome alternative.

I'd suspect bunnies first...unless these are teeny tiny leaves a week doesn't seem long enough for a caterpillar or two to strip 'em to the stems.
