Something chewed bites out of my beets, never ate the entire beet, but a bite out of each one. some of the green were sheared off, but none of them eaten. What critter could be doing this? thanks marilyn

    I've had voles attack my beets in the past...they love sweets.


    Look for tunnels just below the surface of the soil.
