They're still flapping around my backgarden

Sorry if you already know this, but it needs a surprisingly fine net ("holes" no more than 7mm wide) to keep Cabbage White Butterfly out.

Harrumph!

The cabbage moth has even got through the 7mm netting this year, and I didn't see them til I cut the cabbages

All debris netting for me next year, then!

Pigeons are more destructive I've just thrown fleece over my kale

They cannot get through this, but are very clever at spotting where there might be any gaps they can squeeze through, even right a ground level

:blink:

they've pretty much gone in norfolk, not a moment too soon.

however if you've got netting up i would leave it up til the first frost, no point in taking a risk now.
