jok 3,400 Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Yes guys, as above. The cabbage white are starting to appear. If you think the woodies are your worst enemies then think again. That scaffold netting is doing some miles I imagine. Jok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DIDO.1 22,855 Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I've only got 8 cabbages in....I'm just checking them every day..will that be ok or shall I net anyway? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terryd 8,824 Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I try and net every thing and if I don't its gone. Pain in the arse but got to be done. Also important to prop the net off any leaves. I fail on that bit some times Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,400 Posted June 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Dido. If I were you mate I'd net up. The bugger said will lay their eggs and your 8 plants will be decimated in minutes. One of the wor/t things to say in a garden is, I wish I had. Jok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIDO.1 22,855 Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Ok I'll net em tomorrow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terryd 8,824 Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 with out with I often have a few plants left and just throw them in and not net. I have yet to see one survive. I may as well throw them straight on the compost 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
