I've got some late brassicas that really desperately need to go out.
If I put them out now, presumably I won't have much of an issue with
butterflies, but will I still need to net to stop the pigeons?
I think that if you have netting to spare it can't do any harm to
cover them with it. I definatly would.

I'm about to take the netting off the currents, so it will be 'spare',
but it's windy and I hate doing jobs like this on my own in this
weather. :-/


Yes, when its windy it is a sod to do. When I am doing this on my own I
weight down one end of the net with heavy stones or rocks, then drag the
netting over and do the same at the other end. Weight it down. In between
the netting you might need some canes with an upturned plastic bottle on
the end to stop the cane poking through the net. This will stop the netting
going anywhere near your plants. Well, I have read this through and realise
it might not be that clear to anyone but me.. Well, I know what I mean.
