At this time of year, cabbage white butterflies can destroy your entire brassica patch in a few days. They like to lay their eggs on the leaves so that when the caterpillars hatch, they have something nice to eat! If you see eggs on the underside of the leaves, wipe them off with your finger. Better yet, make sure you cover over your brassicas with netting or fleece so they can’t get near them. #cabbagewhitebutterfly #butterflies #allotment #allotmentgarden #allotmentlife #allotmentsofinstagram
