@lamaisonbleueoleron ah thanks Steve. I'm trying to update my stock on there this weekend. If you're after something special, let me know. As you may see, I've got lots of stuff that is not on website.....possibly also growing things I've forgotten about, or that's genetically mutated through miracle gro and is a new species!!
