Something took a big bight out of a damn chilli as well.
Could be possums?

It happens at night but I really dont sleep all that much so...
That chilli was damn hot though and the amount taken would've given any human a nice burn .( It may have been spat out of course)
I thought it looked like bite marks, but nothings adding up.
i might just put it a couple of more little baby's to find out what's doing this

Some might be shocked to hear this one but in this part of the world there are many small farmers who dont use pesticides or herbicides or fungicides of any description. There is some use of fertilizers but most use cow or chicken manure. There is such a small farmer living next to me and I buy some veggies off him at times becuase I know the larger farmers use all manner of toxic chemicals on or around their plants.
In addition what I understand to be 'organic' in some countries carrying a premium price, is normal in these parts. Cows, goats and sheep eat grass chickens eat corn etc. Its almost all organic and thats taken for granted.

I get my fruit and veg from a can.
I trust canned food, I don't trust anything that grows on trees or bushes.
It's not natural to pick something from a tree and eat it.
Better to open a can
I won't even have plants in the house.
I read somewhere that they suck the oxygen out of the room and
fill it with carbon monoxide.
I'm not too sure about this, but plants do do something with oxygen
and it is obviously bad for you. That is why Eskimo's live where they do to
get far away from plants. A very clever race the Eskimo's.
I think I'd like to an Eskimo but I don't like fish.
