This is what happens when you get an invasion of mice. Last week a mouse jumped down from the rafters onto my hand. I quickly brought all the EGVGA seeds into safety. All of my private bulk stash has disappeared. All marrow seeds including the 206.5 and 135.5 are gone as well as several others. About 100 packages of 134 field pumpkin seeds and about a thousand beetroot seeds have also gone, as well as all of my own cross pumpkin seeds. They went through a cardboard box, bubble envelopes, large plastic ziploc bags and the smaller baggies to get at the seeds. They tried a long gourd seed (my stash of 122s) but didn't like them. They also left the corn, cucumber and sunflower seeds. In the meantime they are working on their third bag of mouse poison.
I keep seeds in about four different places, including mouse free drawers, so I still have a very small collection of all seeds for my own use (though no 135.5 marrow seeds anymore). My normal vegetable seeds are in a steel box, which keeps the critters out. The EGVGA seeds were elevated so the mice couldn't easily get at them. But I'm sure going to buy some new anti-mouse seed storing boxes soon!
