I'm fighting a loosing battle with the caterpillars still!
I did not net my Kale and Broccoli against cabbage whites earlier in the summer (big mistake), but got them covered by mid August.
Despite being covered and almost daily removing caterpillars I am still even up to today removing handfuls of caterpillars of each plant.
Can anyone explain this? I have not seen any butterflies inside the net since I covered them and not seen any flying around recently. How come the caterpillars are still appearing in such quantity?! Is it possible that so many eggs were laid back in August that they keep on hatching over a long period of time.
I'm starting accept I have lost all my kale as it has been eaten to nothing and the Broccoli leaves are shredded although there are some florets growing.
Very upsetting!!
