Title: Cabbages stripped
Post by: caroline7758 on May 10, 2009, 19:03:05
Just shows you need the right kind of netting. I didn't have enough fine netting for all my cabbages so covered half with bigger mesh. Went down to the plot today and all the cabbages under the bigger mesh had been stripped while most of the ones under the smaller mesh were ok. :(

Yes, I'd guess pigeons. I'm getting more and more tempted by that debris netting on ebay.
