Netting over brassicas question

Hi everyone,

I am successfully growing broccoli, kale, sprouts and cabbages, they have been covered up with a special netting to keep out the cabbage white but can they now be uncovered? as some of them, the sprouts especially are straining at the very top of the structure! and I don't think the cabbage white are still around.

Any ideas please?

 

Keep the netting on just release it a bit to stop the brassicas straining. The Pieridae will be around until Late October and will still lay eggs

 

If the leaves are touching the net the butterflies can lay their eggs still on your plants, raise the net above the plants.

 

Thank you all very much for that info, very helpfull indeed.
Also your hibiscus is looking really lovely Marley it grows well from sowing the seeds doesn't it?
