Vine Weevil

weevils do love strawberries! There's no guarantee the grubs won't eat the immature roots of your veg, but it might deter them (I've never heard of vine weevils eating carrots, parsnips and leeks). It's a good idea to lay a thick layer of gravel over by Tracey Curnock

fuchsia leaves

Can you check to see if vine weevil grubs have eaten the roots? I believe that fuchsias are one of their favourite plants. I agree with Kate - if they are in pots, tip an affected plant out and look for 'C' shaped Vine Weevil grubs by Trevor Challands
