Hi all, this is the first time I've tried growing sprouts. I grew them from seed & planted them out in late Spring. The plants have been growing ok I think, about 16-18 in. Recently though the leaves are being eaten, I have found a dozen or so green & sort of brown & green caterpillars that I assume have been doing the damage.

Is it too late to do something about this, some tiny sproutlets have formed, about the size of a match head.

What would you recommend.......happy to net, use chemicals.......or nuke from orbit if necessary   

Thanks

Chris

Now your options are to pick them off and squash them or RHS advises

Spray with pyrethrum (Py Spray Garden Insect Killer) Scotts Bug Clear Gun for Fruit & Veg

Check the container for how many times you are allowed to spray the crop each year though.
