Diary of a weekend gardener

Why does it have to be the meconopsis?

See below for the grisly details. It might be slugs, but there's no tell tale slime. And oddly, whatever-it-is has broken off the leaves just at the top of the stem and left them half attached and uneaten. Anyway, I've put some gritty sand and some of these new supposedly wildlife friendly slug pellets round them. I've tried going out late at night to catch the culprits in the act but with no success. Must be a 2am raiding party. Still, two of the three have large flower buds so as long as the marauders leave the buds alone I should at least get a flower or two.
