Keep butterflies away from your brassicas and other vegetables, meaning you get to enjoy the fruits of your labour.Winter cabbages – a valuable crop, for fresh harvests when little else is available. Usually form large heads, so need plenty of space. Sow in late spring. These include crinkly Savoy types and smooth drumheads, as well as attractive red-tinged or purple varieties. Once mature, they often stand in good condition for months until needed. Alternatively, store in a cool, frost-free place

While the adults will not do any damage do vegetables, like cabbages. The larvae of the cabbage white butterfly will feed and damage plants. If left unprotected the cabbage white butterfly can destroy entire brassica yields. Using cabbage/insect netting is relatively easy. The netting is simply draped over the cabbage plants and secured in place using stakes or other means of support. The netting should be secured tightly to prevent pests from squeezing through gaps or finding a way inside. Last year when I spotted large numbers of Cabbage Whites flying around, I didn't pay much attention to them at first, as I had (fortunately, as it turned out) decided not to grow any brassica crops. I do grow nasturtiums along the vegetable patch fence however, and within a matter of days I went from 'Oh look – that's an interesting caterpillar' to 'Eek! What are those caterpillars and what have they done to my nasturtiums?' Large and Small Cabbage White Butterflies Unfortunately it is usually necessary to uncover plants every two to three weeks to hoe, weed and also thin seed sown plants. This risks ingress of pests which once inside the mesh are likely to multiply. Egg laying through the meshIt is also important to periodically inspect the netting to ensure that it is not damaged and that there are no holes or tears that could allow pests to enter which will affect plant growth. EyouAgro Cabbage Netting There is something so satisfying about enjoying homegrown cabbage family vegetables that the insects didn’t get to first. Insects can sometimes lay eggs through the mesh if the mesh touches the crop foliage. Ensuring the mesh does not touch the plants reduces the likelihood of this occurring. Pollination problems All of these are considered cool-season crops, which means they should be planted in the spring once the soil is dry and crumbly. But there are a few exceptions on the timing of the plantings. The seeds of all of the crops listed above – except for broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower – can be direct-sown in the garden around April 15. Organic slug baits, such as Sluggo, can be sprinkled onto the soil surface around your seedlings. Another option is to make a beer trap. Push an empty cat food or tuna can into the soil until the can’s lip is even with the soil surface. Fill the can about halfway with beer. Attracted by the smell of the yeast, slugs fall in and drown.
