One thing that really worked - netting all brassicas! We did not have any problems with caterpillars on our vegetables, as the white butterfly cannot get through the netting and lay its eggs.
Hope you all had a good season, too!

Purple cauliflower
Yes, I know. I have been writing about this a few times before. But it's such a stunning vegetable, I can't help it.
We had a very good season this Winter. The vegetables thrived and we had plenty to eat. We are still harvesting quite a bit, but I am sure this will change soon, once the warmer weather settles in. Everything will very quickly go to seed.

Did your purple cauliflower turn a sort of blue colour when cooked?
