Hey Burke's Backyard, went out this morning and green caterpillars have decimated my roquette. I found three and squashed them but there must be more to eat them down nearly to the stems. What do I do boss? They usually * up my basil so they must be working systematically to destroy my garden plant by plant.

Squashing by hand was what I was doing to kill the ****ing aphids. Time consuming, maddening but also satisfying in a vindictive murder god way.

This, and if you're on a long haul, people taking or wanting your seat just because you pre plan and they don't.

Yeah they love roquette I've got the same problem, they're the larvae of those white butterflies.

You can pick them off and try and kill the butterflies but that doesn't work that well.

I haven't tried this but plant land cress near your roquette and the butterflies are attracted to it and lay their eggs but it poisons the caterpillars once they hatch.

Land Cress Seeds

The Land Cress from Mr Fothergill's is perfect for your garden. A spicier alternative to Watercress with roots up to 18cm long. Shop more cress seeds today.

They love my nasturtiums, they are from the cabbage moth I think which looks like a butterfly. Anyway after I water I just wait about 30 minutes then pluck them off the leaves, a couple of days of that seems to take care of most of them. My Pomeranian loves to smash the moths so hopefully that will help thin them out as well.

Lady bugs eat them, I swear you only ever saw the red and black ones when I was young now they’re yellow and black.

Yeah I get them on my nasturtiums too but they seem to prefer brassicas. Planting some nasturtiums might help gringo2011 keep them off his roquette.

The kids were listening to a podcast about this recently, there are 500+ different species of ladybird in Australia, both yellow and red, and they're classified by the number of spots on them apparently.

For those of you with cabbage moth catapillar issues, I've found BT to be quite effective. BT is found naturally in soils and it's certified for organic use. Just mix with water and spray

For a cabbage moth control measure, I find that a tennis racket is effective. I prefer forehand but backhand also works well too.

I spent 4k on one in October. Better than the brick I ran with for a while. Runs Flight Sim like a charm.

Why do so many people jump up to get on the plane the minute they start boarding?

More time smelling everyone's feet and farts.

I''ve never had my seat taken, i see others sitting in the wrong seats ( usually because they can't read numbers ) and in most cases they make them move to the right one.

I seem to recall once, years ago, i had to put my cabin luggage into a locker two seats up from my seat.
I was not traumatized by this event.

You can actually buy lady bugs for spreading round your garden. Just don't release them when it's hot.
