Who/what's eating my cilantro? →[More:]
Ok, so I have a few cilantro/chinese-parsley plants out back in a plastic planter. Base of plant about 6" from ground, lip of planter extends up to about 8".

The leaves came in great. One day I wake up and all the leaves have been chewed off. Not quit to the stalk (there's a tiny of of leaf-material left) but all the leaves - gone.

Since I stopped smoking I don't know who my backyard visitors are. There's at least one cat who likes to sit on my stairs. He's basically scoping out the route the mouse takes from the neighbour's yard to the other neighbour's yard. Three black squirrels, one's a 2-3 yo female, the other two are yearlings. One big grey squirrel who got chased out by the blackies but comes back every so often. There are a couple of big red-breasted birds with big wingspans. A couple of blue jays. A medium sized racoon and a skunk round out the visitors. Haven't had slugs/snails show up yet (<shakes fist> stinking sweet basil eaters).

Any ideas?
