None of mine will touch Herb Robert, Nastirium, Calendula Marigolds and Jack by the hedge.

They are not too keen on Bindweed either.

Only the leopards will eat nettles

Norm doesn't like bindweed (not a bad thing), Scooter eats just about anything and Lulah not overfussed on dandies!! Whoever heard of such a thing! None of them are that keen on plantain but will have a bit if that's all thats on offer

None of mine will touch jack by the hedge, red clover or rose petals. Maggies is the only one that will eat vetch, also her and Chester and Mr T like white dead nettle but wont touch red dead nettle, yet Humphrey is the total oppisite!

Yarrow, self-heal and pulmonaria are their least favourite

Mine tend to leave red clover leaves but gobble up the flowers immediately
