Bought myself a book on growing veg to make sure i got the basics right before i started. I have 2 raised beds like it say's to have, thought it would be pretty straight forward hahaha...How wrong was i!!!! I have 7 cats so thought i should build a 6ft frame and put a very fine netting around and over the top of it to stop my cats using it as a litter box. To my amazment my cat's have not taken any notice of it at all, but like a few of you i'm finding white butterfly eggs on my broccoli but not on my cabbages. I wanna know how the butterflies are getting in there in the first place? Annie :) Hi everyone, For the first time I’ve planted veg in my garden.
