Who dun it?

I grafted some avocado scions that were gifted to me by a generous member. Grafts had taken and were slowly pushing out.

I checked on them yesterday and was surprised and disappointed to find out something or someone had cut off the tops of 2 grafts. One graft is below the cut line and has popped buds so it is not a total loss.

The question is who or what did the damage.

Was it:
A) the gardeners who came yesterday and trimmed the lawn and probably used an edger?

B) a critter whi bit through the wood for fun or food?

C) one of my kids playing baseball in the front yard?

I don't know the answer.

The gardener of course, the piece towards the fence is just a little too long. When the remaining stick starting to push outward he is coming back, then you really be p.....of.

I'll tell you who did it, ...a dead man.

But seriously that sounds really frustrating.

Sorry to see that happened!
I usually place a small paper bags on the new grafts, to protect them from the hot afternoon sun as well as to alert others to leave them alone. Saw this at Warren's ("wslau") yard, and they work for me:

maybe someone wanted to share the scions with you
