Sad Cabbages - wots left of em......

[Duk21]

My cabbages seem to be a hearty meal for something and i am guessing that is caterpillars though i never can see any. Is this usual, do i need to net em?

Any advice please before all thats left is a stalk.........

Yep - net 'em, Duk. Sounds suspiciously like pigeons rather than caterpillars, tho'.

If the damage is to the edge of the leaves, it's pigeons.
You've probably got caterpillars too - the little cabbage white's larvae are the exact same shade as the cabbage & hard to spot - cunning, huh?

Either way, you have to net your brassicas if you want to eat any yourself.
