When I sow brassica's at this time of year I always get them nibbled by a little fly so this year have put one of them Poundshop food nets over them and they are looking good

I can't quite remember ;D.It could have been either or even Wilkies. I got 2 of them last year for the kitchen. Will have to get some more now. Wherever I got them they would be about £1. They do 2 sizes as well. The one in the pic is the bigger one

Come on Shirlton, she had a Granny moment.
Give the poor lass a break she's slept since then. ;)
Quality tip though.
