Brassica Massacre

The veggie patch is still going strong with the cherry tomatoes continuing to flourish and the chillies plants have gone crazy! As we aren't mad chilli fans ourselves, I tried to preserve some by drying them out in the oven. They went a little brown and time will tell whether it was a successful process.

My recently planted winter vegetables including brussel sprouts, broccolini, cauliflower and red cabbage have unfortunately been attacked by little green caterpillars. I suspect if left, they will become Cabbage White Butterflies. Manually picking the little critters off doesn't seem to be working very well.

It's not only the brassicas that have sustained damage recently. While we were at Little Aths Pippa decided, for reasons unknown and the second time in a few weeks, to try to get into the car. On our arrival back home we were greeted to this....luckily the pieces all seemed to pop back into place and there weren't any obvious scratch marks either.
