Clitoria Ternatea

Hi, I just wondered if anyone has tried growing Clitoria ternatea, or Blue Butterfly Pea Flower in the UK? It's native to Indonesia, but has also been introduced to India, Australia, etc. The flower is edible and it's used a natural food colouring by MissJulia

Cabbage and pigeons

Your only real way is to net the cabbages by constructing a frame over them. If you use a fine mesh you'll also keep any butterflies out, hence no caterpillars. Be sure to secure the bottom of the mesh well so that no creatures can get in and get by Riicey'sraisedbeds
