When I sow brassica's at this time of year I always get them nibbled by a little fly so this year have put one of them Poundshop food nets over them and they are looking good

[manicscousers]

brilliant idea, shirley, I always worry about the cabbage whites on me seedlings 'til I get them in the ground..need some more, off to poundland tomorrow  ;D

Is it fine enough to stop flea beetles?  :-\

[shirlton]

Yep saddad thats what its there for. Just couldn't think of the name of the little blighters.We only seem to get them later in the year.

Shirl did you get it from Poundland or the Poundshop?

[shirlton]

I can't quite remember ;D.It could have been either or even Wilkies. I got 2 of them last year for the kitchen. Will have to get some more now. Wherever I got them they would be about £1. They do 2 sizes as well. The one in the pic is the bigger one

Come on Shirlton, she had a Granny moment.
Give the poor lass a break she's slept since then. ;)
Quality tip though.
