Something stripped all the leaves from my freshly-planted marigolds overnight!?

No other pants were touched, and I couldn't see any evidence of bugs, but the flowers weren't eaten, just the foliage. Anyone know what could have done it?

Slugs and snails are my guess.



It's their season (which lasts from March till late October, nasty things!)

Get slug-killing-pellets.



If it's the rabbits: Netting will work.
Reply:Sounds like slugs or snails. I use the beer method to get rid of them. Place a shallow contained near the area of your plants. Bury it to the rim and pour a small amount of beer (do not use lite beer, never works) in the container. The slugs are attracted to the yeast in the beer, go for a drink and drown. Dump the old beer and slugs every couple of days and add fresh beer. A more expensive way to do this is to purchase packets of yeast, mix with water, and pour it in the container. Works the same way.
Reply:Rabbits love marigolds.
Reply:I'm guessing snails. The liquid snail poison is best because your pets won't be interested in eating any of it.
