Look what's coming through now @juliesgarden 😁. Unfortunately my other one started to come through and then the shoot appears to have rotted away, strange as I didn't even touch it and it's been fine all winter. Are there any foxtail lily growers out there that can advise if I've lost the plant completely or will the roots still be ok. I don't particular want to dig it up to see if there is a chance it's still alive.

I didn't think of slugs actually as I hardly see many to think of them as a problem. But yes, a possibility @susiwoo πŸ‘πŸΌ

Haha! @juliesgarden I think I probably do have loads, but they seem to not really touch the plants you'd think - I get so many birds and hedgehogs in that maybe it's enough to keep them under control. I've just cursed myself now haven't I πŸ˜’
