A fellow gardener potted on some brassica plants which he had brought on
in his
greenhouse. The plants had grown to 5/6 inches in height and were
in 3 inch
modules. A few days ago he found that some of the plant stems
had been
cut/severed, but there was no sign of the missing stems and
leaves. Later on, he
found the stems and leaves intact, not having been
nibbled, in a gap under a
tray adjacent to where the plants were. They
had obviously been carried there by
the culprit, but left untouched! He
has mousetraps set, but I do not think that
mice tamper with brassicas,
and would not in any event transport them to a
"store". There is no sign
of slug damage.

Baffled. Any ideas?

Look for scats to identify the unseen. You don't say where this is so there
could be other critters who act the same way, including those on two legs.
Slugs and cut worms etc are not so tidy.
