Well done. Aren't caterpillars sneaky!! I always make sure I give my cabbage a really good soak/wash before cooking.

Good work - there is nothing like your first harvest, but the subsequent ones come close!

Well done! Good luck with the caterpillars. I was scared to death of some last year - they turned out to be Elephant Hawk Moth. Very aptly named, as I was scared to handle them due to the size of their jaws!

All harvests bring a new wave of pleasure, I think. I've been feeling despondent of late, but I was soooo cheered up yesterday afternoon when I went-a-harvesting!
