    Slugs and snails often nibble them too unfortunately. We rarely get lily beetles up here, so it's usually the mollusc brigade doing the damage.  If you've put some pellets down, you might see a difference. 

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    Hi cillaham. Its very difficult to say what it might be thats enjoying a tasty munch but from what you have said you are doing all the right things. I would still keep an eye out for lily beetles and their larvae which look like bird droppings.
