We think about Eastern gray squirrels eating nuts, mushrooms, and berries. But I wouldn't put them on the top of my 'eating greens' list.
But, first the collard transplants disappeared, then the broccoli, and then the red cabbage. Hmmrph.... I was thinking an errant woodchuck might be selectively browsing, but s/he skipped the cilantro in one of my containers (a woodchuck favorite), so I was puzzled.

At home for lunch, I caught the culprit in action. First, s/he investigated the (sorry) remnants of the collards and broccoli, and then started investigating the adjoining mustard bed. And, s/he started chewing. Hmmrph. My Mr. McGregor instincts had me snapping a quick couple of shots, before I ran out to show him/her away!
