Here is a blog post on the downside of gardening… combating green cabbage caterpillar. When I first started blogging as I love gardening, I asked myself, why don’t I write something about gardening? Gosh, how little I knew!! There are some amazing blogs out there on gardening then one my journey. I found a great Facebook group called Gardening Hints and Tips UK It’s a great group lots of members on hand to help you with gardening do’s and don’t. Indeed I would of course take the advise with a pinch of salt.

I don’t monetize in any of the links I put here. I just post the links that I find useful and hopefully it will help in return.
Sometimes I use loo rolls of sow some carrot seeds as the weather has taken a turn for the cold lately the seedlings have taken their time to sprout. I found some mould on them but thanks advice from this group they continue growing till today.
Combating green cabbage caterpillar
Recently I found out that my purple sprouting broccoli looks like they have been chewed to death. Apparently it’s cabbage caterpillar tips are too remove them (caterpillar and eggs) and douse them with some chrysanthemum. So will try that and post the results. If anyone has got any advice to make these plants grow better it would be much appreciated as well. Happy gardening everyone.
I will post on the chapter the outcomes of the methods recommended to combat green cabbage caterpillars. Update 20/9/2018: The weather has taken a colder turn today. My purple sprouting broccoli is still surviving not by chrysanthemums but by putting a mixture of salt and flour?!! No more caterpillarshave seen so far….finger crossed and hope it stays this way….
Thank you for dropping by have a look at my other blog post on growing like how to grow pak choi.
