I found some at the weekend also but if they've only got to the outer leaves they should be ok - have another look to see they've not got into the inner sanctum so to speak, 'cos you can always afford to lose a few outer leaves

I was amazed to find the caulies in my polytunnel had big green caterpillars on them yesterday.

The chickens enjoyed them......I'm always pleased with free food sources  ;D
