Wonderful, Andrew. Last year my gifted seedlings were eaten by the marauding molluscs. I love how they pose effortlessly and beautifully just outside in the field behind your garden like nobody's business, right there by the lane where you walk, just to rub it in.😅

I love ravenswing, I planted some last year- the year of the slugs! And they ate it all 🙄
