    Echeverias Elegans for carpet beddding. Strangely when they come back in the autumn they are undamaged, if any are left in the nursery for the summer they are devastated by vine weevil grubs. Should cover them with a net, but there again my toads would miss out on their 'treats'. :D

    Very much doubt it, Strongy - not unless you started selling them at Ann Summer parties..... [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]
