Had a look at the sprouts yesterday, and they had caterpillars on them!

How the hell can I stop that?


Two options:
1 - Cover your sprouts with mesh netting as soon as they're outside
so that the pretty butterflies can't get to them to lay eggs on (it's
a bit late for that now though)


The funny thing is, I had covered them with mesh as soon as I had planted
them which is a bit of a puzzle!
