along with chinese cabbages, pak choy and radish at this time of year you have to fleece to avoid them - they make a real mess of the leaves

Give the foliage a good dusting with Derris to get rid of the beetles, then give them a liquid feed into the soil, to perk them up.

Then fleece them over, they should recover
