Ever find your kale or cabbage full of ragged holes and no idea what's eating it? There's a green caterpillar out there that blends in so well with your leaves, you'll usually notice the damage and droppings left behind before you spot the culprit. And on cabbage, it doesn't stop at the leaves. It can bore right into the head. 𝘠𝘪𝘬𝘦𝘴. I just published a new pest guide all about the Cabbage Worm that walks through: - The full life cycle from egg to adult butterfly - Exactly what to look for so you can catch it early - How to prevent it in the first place - How to treat it once it's there - How to use trap crops & companion planting to control populations and draw in predators ...with photos at every stage! Where to find it? It's part of a growing library of pest guides inside the Academy! And you can grab a 7-day free trial to go read it (and others) right now 🙌 Come hang out with us, join the live session on Friday, and binge-watch past workshops HERE

Not a big harvest, but I am still a proud Mama of my tomatoes. The fact that I could grow them from seed amazed me. This is the girl who has killed a snake plant, an aloe Vera, and even a cactus.

Something has eaten huge parts of my brussel leaves. I'm going to try moving them so that I can put protective netting all around them, after spraying them. I'm also moving my sweetcorn, cucumbers and beans to give them support and protection. This is the first time of trying to grow my own vegetables, (apart from tomatoes and salads) so it's all trial and error.

Glad to be here

I’m gonna call these my accidental potatoes, I planted potatoes in my polytunnel for Christmas which were a great success but I obviously missed a few when digging them up so when they started coming through I just left them and I’m pleasantly surprised with how many I’ve got, think it’s gonna be a good year for potatoes
