Had the pots been on the ground I would have thought of voles but these were
on benches 30" off the ground and in strong light. Mice maybe but voles (in
my limited experience) like it close to the ground and under cover.
It just ticked me off because these were new species from gemmae that a
generous list participant sent. One pot still has plants in it, the other
looks like a goner.
