Cabbage whites - getting obsessed now

As I had a lot of space this year where early crops struggled with the weather, have really gone mad with winter crops.

I always have kale and PSB, but this year have green, red, black and Sutherland kale, January King, Savoy and red cabbage, plus swedes and some autumn turnips. Every time I visit the plot I'm cooing over them as they are all looking lovely  


All netted but now getting twitchy every time I see a blasted cabbage white hovering near the crops trying to lay eggs through the net.  Found myself today leaping across the plot like a loony chasing them off.  What's the point Newshoot eh    Minute you head home they'll be back laughing their heads off  


Soooooo  drooling over cabbage like it is a prize bloom and declaring war on butterflies.  Who knew brassicas could send you so loopy  

  ooh noo, forget about the slug pellets,. must do that in the morning! Just fed my beautiful caulies under the debris netting. Felt all smug that had protected them so well from the flying pests ----- forgot to renew the pellets. AAARGHH

Trillium - you got me slightly worried there for a moment!

I was just thinking: "Who in their right mind looks and comments on this site at one o'clock in the morning?"

. . . and then I noticed you were from Canada! Doh!
