Thank you so much Ace for your reply. I have some netting left over from my gardening yesterday,spotted a cabbage white flutterby on my cabbages so netted both those and the cauliflower over to protect,hope i did right?
I shall net the runners today. Shall i net both the dwarf runners and the runner beans over?
Oh,and i know this is going to sound silly but when is a cucumber ready to harvest? I have one on my cucumber plant at the minute that is 9" long and about as thick as an old 50p coin. My neighbour said that i should pick it when it gets to about 10" otherwise the other cucumbers wont grow. Is this correct or should i wait for it to fatten out a bit more?
Thanks in advance.
