aaagh!

Cabbage butterflies! (for those who don't know they are the little white ones which flutter about)

I planted some brocolli and cauliflower seeds into some pots about a week ago to make sure at least some of our winter veg gets to take advantage of the still warm weather. But they are only 3cm tall in the pots now and cabbage butterflies have already started laying eggs on then and some of the caterpillars have hatched and are munching away at my baby plants. Time to go in search of some curtain netting to protect them under!
