Destroyed :(

Hi all, came home last night to this

They were doing brilliantly until yesterday!
Also, my begonias have been turned upside down and dug out
Gutted

 

Aaaaw, that's a cryin' shame that is NG. It really does make ya wonder why we bother somedays doesn't it,

I was watching the Gardens at G.W.l last night and I reckon the one with the Semps in the drain pipes has never gardened where there are blackbirds. They totally destroy any Semps planted here.
Something also has dug out almost every newly potted up Saxifrage cuttings. £60 if sold at my normal price. (Money goes to the Air Ambulance).
I like birds, but sometimes.......................Sorry NG. Happens to the best of us.

 

They do it on purpose you know: oh yes! They do it to teach us a lesson we won't ever forget. And now, of course, you will remember this.

I do feel for you

 

Is that bird damage?
First picture looks like weedkiller to me.
Second one, looks like an empty planter.

If, as others are saying the problem is blackbirds, then fill a seed tray with mud and keep it wet, they like that best for their nests.
Also, provide some Whiskers cat food, they love it and it stops them rooting around so much, although, they might still dig out the gutters during wet weather.

 

I think it was nemophila (spelling?) which was destroyed. I think it's marigolds to the right?? Doing well
Here is a clearer picture for Pete
4 begonias, 3 spaced evenly, and one experimental one in top left. They were all starting to sprout like the one top left

 

Has this suddenly died too??
My lovely rosmarinus officinalis it has been beautiful for a year now, and doubled in size, although it has never flowered.

 

It may have been attacked by Rosemary Beetle

 

I agree with Pete the first pic and the Rosmarinus looks too drastic to just be birds and especially as it's happened so quickly...It's a damn shame..

 

Storm???

I dont know
Hey......is Rosemary beetle a friend of Simon spider??

I think it has drowned, or beetle quite a moist area this year

 

Well if we did it must of been in the night when I was asleep Better check with @HairyGardener

 

Well if he did, we didn't.
