As some of you know we like to grow our own and not use lots of chemicals. Well in lthe last few days my precious cabages (both the red for pickling and the white for sauerkraut and coleslaw) are looking very moth eaten (well....close)
I had a quick shufti and the culprits were clear to see...
A good look around seemed to show quite a pattern of growth
The eggs perhaps?
Small Caterpillars
Their larger siblings
And of course mum (the small white - who has different wing markings than hubby)
Well, right now, the amateur nature loving wins over destroying the wee beasties,
Anyone got any spare coleslaw?
