New gardeners growing Brassicas

Diane, I've noticed an increase in the number of Cabbage Whites visiting my garden this year. I'm usually lucky if I see one - where as this year there can be at least 4 flitting about at the same time. They never land on anything for long - I suspect they are passing through on their way to Jim next door

Completely different down here Scottish.we usually hae hundreds of Cabbage whites around the veg patch but this year, I have seen very few.And, only in the last few weeks.
Diane, as I don't have time to pick off the eggs from the leaves and as the abbage white caterpillars have caused such devastation to my Brassicas in the past, I invested some years ago in some Enviromesh(Agralan) Very expensive but it pays for itself in the long run! I have a frame which I made and covered with the mesh.It keeps the butterflies off. in my blog today, I have a photo of the Calabrese I harvested today! I'm vey pleased I invested in the mesh and made the frame!

Thanks for that Paul, I was wondering what the brand name is. Will put it on my list for the GC. I have the hoops which fit over my raised beds. Would prefer not to spray at all.
