A solution, not a problem.

Environmentally friendly way to get the cabbage whites from your brassicas.

The solution

Grow nasturtiums nearby. They bloody love em.

We were watching caterpillers yesterday, there were literally hundreds climbing up my front garden ornamental wall. I couldn't understand where they were coming from, or what they had been living on. Then I relised there wasn't a leaf left on a nearby shrub!

I am happy in the knowledge the front garden birds will soon have them eaten.

And yes, they have eaten all my nasturtiams too.

This is not really anything to do with gardening but more to do with birds in the garden I havent seen any in my garden recently normally sparrows thrushes they still have the same bird mix has anyone else noticed less birds in their garden?

Yes, I've also had far fewer birds in my garden this summer. And it's not as if I haven't got enough caterpillars for them!
