caterpillars...ate my sprouts..

There are likely to be eggs under the leaves as well, Mookins. I think it's a case of 'shutting the door after the horse has bolted'... sorry. It would be a HUGE job to check every leaf!

so should I just chop it off?, ive only recently planted new seeds out ove rthe rest of the patch as they didnt make it (planted them too early)

You could spray them - but think about leaving them now, as all caterpillars change to...guess what? Butterflies! hehe. Betcha didn't know that!

Is it possible to protect anything new with fine netting to stop more butterflies laying their eggs on the plants??

eek... have a real phobia of butterflies and more so of moths.

will cover the others and leasve the sprouts exposed
....shudder ....

thanks for the advice
