Squish the eggs before they hatch as a matter of importance.
When you say you have netting, how fine is it? To keep cabbage white off you need it pretty fine and they can also lay though netting if the plants are touching it so you have to be careful.
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be? -

They will squeeze through a 1cm hole, and will "squat and drop" if the netting is even touching a brassica leaf.All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment
