Broccoli - whats eating it?

Hi Guys,

Something is eating the purple sprouting broccoli, I cant see anything obvious like slugs or caterpillars.

Here are a couple of pictures of the plants in the hope that someone can identify the culprits

  • Hi Edd,

    Thanks for your help

    Tried the tree icon, did not work, I'm only seeing the link code and I cant see the pictures that you can??

  • Use the green tree icon and upload photos directly from your own computer.

    It can take quite a while.

    BBcode won't work here.

    Embedded links to externals image hosting sites often don't work.  You can't upload images from phones.

    BTW, it's woodpigeons that are`eating your broccoli as I can see from the picture you uploaded on your first post.

  • Thanks Bob, that explains it for me image shame about the BBcode image

    Next question, what do I do to prevent the pigeons? The plants are around 3.5ft high

  • Thanks pansyface image

    I'll net the plants and see how it goes
