Well dont send them up here!  ;D

Not seen any "whites" but noticed a couple of "Red Admiral" types the other day.I say "types" because Im not sure what they were!

Time to be vigilant anyway.

get some rubarb leaves & put them in a water butt leave for 7 days & water the plants the smell will deter them from coming near your plants i did this last year & had no problem what so ever good for white fly too

went to water the g/h today and saw cabbage whites about - early? the swifts arrived today as well and I reckon that's a bit early - a good sign but I'm not sure for who  :)

Been around here quite a while - did see more today and the first one at school.  must have had them at the plot a couple of weeks now - and spotted and orange tip early April.
