The battle for my cabbages is in full swing. The foes are slugs, which I am doing fairly well at combatting with the use of organic slug pellets (safe to birds, children and animals, not necessarily in that order), and cabbage white butterflies. As you can see in the picture, I am using a reasonably fine mesh - but to my horror, the butterflies are managing to squeeze through.
The picture sadly belies the size of the cabbage - it is the generous size of an average football - further testament to the use of chicken poo scattered throughout the bed during planting. I'll just have to harvest them - had the first one this Sunday for lunch with some sprinkled bacon bits and it was lovely.
