You're joking, the Cabbage Whites havent even started yet. Its like the film 'Alien'. where theres in the ships corridor and they can see all the aliens closing in on the hand scanner. There Cabbage Whites to you and me.

Brassicas need defending like the Alamo until September at least!! Your peas and beans should be safe tho.
Nothing is ever as it seems. With appropriate equations I can prove this.

I'm afraid peas also need protection.

Birds will attack the baby plants, once they're a certain height you're OK for a bit until the peas pod up and then they're at it again - they'll have the lot.

Sorry.
