Went in the garden today and checked my purple sprouting, low and behold 2 inch long cabbage white caterpillers! Never seen them this early, not even in sunny Somerset! Anybody else had them yet?

I managed to stir fry one on Thursday making some minestrone soup with the Black kale I had just harvested.......picked it out but if it had any friends we've eaten them!

Haven`t seen any caterpillars yet - haven`t looked to be honest - but I have been wondering why my PSB has developed rather lacy outer leaves! I`ll have a bug hunt when I go up the allotment next.
Dammit!
