Allotments 4 All

Agggh tiny caterpillars are eating their way though the basil plants i am selling, they are spinning too and pooing all over the leaves.

So far im hand picking the eaten leaves and caterpillars - anything else i can do?

I've had an attack too on my red cabbages. Had a look yesterday and there were caterpillars, eggs and poo all over wasn't best pleased i've lost a few on the bright side I might get one haha.

I'm going to give them a pestiside spray that could help your basil too.

The Sawfly have finally turned up again... mostly onthe Solomons seal..
:'(

and your advice saddad??? what other plants will they attack?

Gooseberries... I only grow the SS as a decoy... it works really well they prefer it and I don't mind the SS being shredded after it has flowered.
