RE: What You Need To Know Before You Grow Broccoli
That seems like a huge invasion O_o. We do have a lot of these butterflies but never such a big problem with caterpillars. Mine get eaten by all kinds of pests this year but only very few caterpillars.
How do you water them? Usually its the rain that is the problem. If you water them by hand you can just avoid getting it all over the leafy part. Some people even cover them in plastic film.
In one day i removed 30 caterpillars from one plant! lol
I use a hose but I can direct the water.
There aren't any flowers on the broccoli yet, that I noticed anyway. I will keep an eye out. :)
