lime and brassicas

My soil is PH7 - is it still worth liming my brassicas? (As the art mistress said to the gardener).
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.

I doubt it - that's pretty high. You can take it up a tad with brassicas but I wouldn't because you have other things following on.

Most things like 6.5 but potatoes prefer it lower - 5.5 to 6.0  It's not that critical, but when pH falls many plants find it hard to get nutrients out.
