Not a question really.
I dont have grow cabbages inmy little garden so i have noticed that the Cabbage white butterfly has been laying its eggs on my Nastersions. The eggs have duly hatched and the caterpillas have started to munch the leaves.
Has anyone else seen this?

Oh yes, they love the nasturtiams..

Nasturtiums are used to attract slugs and caterpillars. Therefore keeping them off any other nearby plant that you want to keep pests off from!

Butterflies certainly but I hadn't noticed them attracting slugs. I wish!

The slugs love my nasturtiums which I grow for the flowers, as I love them,but they still eat my other plants too! Haven't had the Cabbage Whites this year tho'.

Well - isn't that just like a slug? It eats your nasturtiums, Tuesdaybear, because you love them! And still eats everything else!

Totally off topic, or not, Bulba had gather spinach beet for dinner and left on the table under the kitchen window - the sparrows started to eat!

Just because their common name is Cabbage White does not mean the caterpillars will not eat other foliage.
