We had a total brassica massacre last year so this year we are taking no chances with flutterbys. Our brassicas look fab! lovely and healthy and covered by HOOGE great fleece tents/gazebos/marquees! Not that pretty but I defy any bufferfly to lay eggs on my plants!!!!

Nowt wrong with mushy peas with proper fish and chips (isle of mull for the best)... best to avoid those that appear to have a 'half-life' though - many are radioactive in colour...

What's the best thing to keep those pesky caterpillers from munchin' sprouts? Have you a pic of your tents for me to see? I had to pick two big fat caterpillers off my brussels yesterday.

We have confined them to a large plastic jug with their own small sprout plant to eat. It's an educational thing for my son! It would be good to know the best way to get shot of any more before they scoff everything.
