Fig.1 So much for trying to grow broccoli

I thought picking them off would do. Now I've used a chemical spray sad So much for trying get nature to manage my veg patch. There is no cost saving whatsoever; the plot is too small. There are fresh veggies which so far appear in gluts. I can only assume that each year I'll learn and understand a bit more, and every year have to deal with quite different seasonal weather conditions. 

What is this? Cabbage white? What's the answer?

The answer is netting from the moment you put the seedling in the ground to the moment of picking. A quote I heard on telly 'you've got to net it to get it', sad but true and that is why allotments are so tatty.

Forgot to say either cabbage white or large white - can't remember which but foul to get rid of and if I remember correctly birds won't touch them.

I've got the netting, but unfortunately my planting is nutty - odd plants all around the plot. I'll make significant progress next year as I made such a mess of it this year - could be how I sum up the OU too!
