I used Enviromesh but the cw butterflies got in Rolling Eyes

I have loads of nettles round the edge of my plot which I leave to grow cos the cabb whites like to lay their eggs on those. Mind you someone strimmed em all down last year, and my comfrey Rolling Eyes

Folks do take liberties on my plot I feel Sad

I didn't leave a space from top of cabbages and mesh and the butterfies just layed through it. We have masses of butterfies in the summer, we go for a walk in the lanes and by the river and some of the bushes are covered. Think my greens are just a tasty addition to their native plants. Even ate some of my French marigolds last year.

I've ordered more ultrafine enviromesh. This year both lots of cabbages are going to be underneath it. CWs can't get through it, and so I peg it down well!
