Look at these little bleeders
Crawled all over our veg patch. Bleeding the cabbages dry.
Already munched their way through the Brussels and Cauli’s.
Those poor Cauli’s. They were never gonna make it really.
And to think when we saw those Cabbage White Butterflies sweetly dancing over our veggies a few weeks back – little did we know the devastation they were laying and planting everywhere … thousands of eggs hatched into thousands of these creepy crawly caterpillars with teeth like razors, slicing and sawing…. on the backs of our brassica’s…. the tenacious little f—-rs…..
I must have picked off 5 million of them, squashing their slushy green insides between my fingers – then chuck!, over the hedge you go matey!….. I was lobbing them over like an Olympic shot-putter….. and slugs and snails were being lobbed and tossed over too…. Behind that hedge must be piled high with smashed up shells and slithery green blood….
Anyway. After de-caterpillaring, de-snailing, and de-slugging (and weeding too) the veg patch looked like it had no longer lost – but found, the plot again
And space now for replanting. If Georgi wants to.
