Hi all,
Don't know if anyone else has suffered from flea beetles this season but my brassicas have been ruined by the pescy so and SO's, I've been growing brassicas for years and beyond the seedling stage of growth flea beetle has never been an issue but this year.......urghhhh. All my brassicas have been really slow this year despite regular watering, calabrese and cauli's haven't hearted it's been a real challenge but over the last 2 weeks or so flea beetle have just about finished the crops off, I'm assuming this is purely down to the extreme heat and dry conditions we've had to deal with this year.
Hopefully a more normal season next year.
Cheers, VG
PS at least the slugs have been non existent.
