takes note for next asparagus season
Sob, I can't eat asparagus - it triggers my gout. And as anyone who suffers from gout will confirm, that is not something you want to do!

What about caterpillars?.
I mean where do "Baby Carrots" come from?
Are you sure? I thought it was all to do Daddy Carrots and Mummy Carrots who love each other very much.The ground.

Umm ... nope?The ground.
Three suggestions?What about caterpillars? I gave up on brassicas after all my efforts were savaged by cabbage whites, but I don't think I tried growing kale.
Slugs I leave to the snufflepigs and thrushes. Apart from the greenhouse they don't cause me a problem. Caterpillars I just move.Three suggestions?
- grow your brassicas under fleece, taking care the plants are covered right to ground level (no gaps/tears, please!);
- intersow a few Tagetes/French Marigolds - the scent is supposed to confuse the butterflies. Whether it works or not, I don't know ... but it looks good too ;
- and as soon as you see the butterflies around, check very regularly for the eggs; usually underneath the leaves. AND CRUSH THEM .
And a wee hint for growing slug-free? Intersow summat like Little Gem lettuce. "My" slugs were fussy eaters, and headed first for the lettuce plants. And I knew just where to find them, to CRUSH THEM .

Yes, my ex didn't know broccoli wasn't grey until he left home.When I was a child vegetables were generally boiled within an inch of their life and served mushy often with added water.
May try calling it eggplant?if I'm honest, I don't like "middle class" veg like aubergines
Kale is for sheep, not humans. As for aubergines and asparagus, if you've never hadI don't like "middle class" veg like aubergines and asparagus either, but I'm quite partial to kale,
