When will it be ok to remove the netting from my cabbages and sprouts, or does it stay on all the way through to harvesting?

If you want to be happy for a short time - get drunk.

If you want to be happy for a long time - fall in love.

If you want to be happy forever - take up gardening!

butterflies should finish by the end of this month (unless it turns mild again ..which seems unlikely)..........but if you have a lot of pigeons you may need to leave netting on, or they'll strip the plants down to the ribs :ohmy:
