I sometimes wonder how much more produce we would get if the wildlife didn't take their share, but I don't mind the occasional plant disappearing. As you say, it is really upsetting when the whole row of seedlings vanishes, or never appears in the first place. I had quite a bit of success using cut off pop bottles to protect small plants a couple of years ago, but we don't seem to drink pop now so don't get any bottles.

Here is a photo of the courgette I mentioned. We've had a couple more off it today.
