Something eating cabbages, cauliflowers etc.

[ajandjjmum]

DH has really got into his gardening this year, and has sorted out our long neglected vegetable patch.

His cabbages and cauliflowers are being eaten by something - as yet unseen - which is a bit sad!!

Any ideas on what it might be, and how he might treat it please.

As you can tell, we're complete novices at this!

Are they under nets? Three main common causes are caterpillars, snails/slugs, or pigeons.

I don't have cabbages on the go yet but I put a net over me spuds, carrots, beets and parsnips and the snails get trapped so don't ravage them. We have 2 wood pigeons that snoop about the net keeps them off as well.

I got my net from B&Q and use stones to weigh them at the edge I have put sticks around the veg with small plastic bottles on the top of them. This holds the net higher above the plants.

I'm new to this too :)
