Thank you all. Been making some traps for the pellets to go in over this weekend so gonna stick a couple in with them before netting them as I think all this rain has pretty much killed the pellets that are down now. Hopefully then protected for most eventualities. Fingers crossed they bounce back. I'd really like to crop them as I did grow them from seed and it's the first year if not it's not the end of the world as I have plenty in the tunnel.needing bed space...I went a bit seed happy in the seed trays and I've learnt a miserable lesson

you've learnt two valuable lessons.
1. Net your leaves.
2. Always sow more seeds than you think you'll need and at different times.
And you did the second one instinctively so you're already ahead of most new gardeners!
Well done you!

Pigeons got under my enviromesh tunnel after high winds in March or April and did this to a row of 6 spring cabbages I had overwintered. I was too peed off to pull them up, so I just fixed the netting and left them. Turns out the little bu**ers had done me a favour, as they were developing at about the same rate as the 6 I had in the polytunnel, but the attack set them back a couple of months so I got the best timed successional crop ever - far better than if I'd planned it. Might try purposefully uncovering my outdoor crop for a couple of days next year to achieve the same result!He-Pep!

With not a lot of time today I rooted around and found some old net I've stuck it on and now I just hope it's enough and not too little too late
Thank you all very much.Attached Files

The kale is sending out some baby leaves so netting has solved the problem so you were all right. Seems pigeons were my demons
