Or fleece - see below. Keeps the flea beetle off too.
Can the Whites not lay through netting, Veggie? They can be very determined!
Yes Grace - pin to the ground, allowing a tuck for growth.
Oh - plants? You'll have to be quick like a bunny!! Summer-Autumn cabbages should be sown by now - Spring, July-August. Get eg Marshalls catalogue - or view online?

Would you sow direct in ground or in cells !!

Again, just!!
Me? Given the weather non-pattern I would do them in modules/cells for June planting. You then know where you are without taking up seedbed space.

Fleece is the answer-and if you can share or have a big garden then buy it by the roll from a horticultural supplier rather than a GC-much cheaper

Hi! just jumping in - does this advice apply to red cabbage as well? I sowed mine weeks ago and are now in cold GH getting ready to put out. does that fly eat these as well?
Never done it before and don't know whether they are summer or winter - just love it pickled. xa
