Indoors!
There was a snail trail across the carpet (the plants were outside during the day so the little sod must have stowed away) coming away from the pots and back again. But could I find the little blighter?
Of course, I won't be put off. New sowings were made within minutes. A few years ago I would have sown far more plants in case of disasters like this, but it sucks having to get rid of them when you find you've got too many and I really don't have a lot of space to grow billions of seedlings.
So I shall just have to wait a couple of weeks longer for my cucumbers.
Sigh.

Oh no! =( Inside, too? What a cheeky wee thing. Hopefully your new seeds come up fast =)
I just hate it when that happens - we had mice using seedlings in the greenhouse as fast food so we have had to resort to traps and since then we seem to have had less of a problem touch wood!
Was it definitely a snail or could it have been a slug hiding in the compost?
So AGGRAVATING!
A few years ago I lost every single courgette and squash plant I put into the allotment. It was like feeding the slugs. The following year I went biodynamic and the problem has greatly lessened.
But INDOORS! How annoying!
Good luck with the new sowings.
:)
Heartbreaking! That has happened to me too. Slugs, snails, mice are at the top of the list. But when that happened to me.. it was my dog!
