I have sadly had to accept the fact that we are probably going to be without a sprouting broccoli crop next spring. This is indeed a total bugger, but, I'm proud to be doing my bit for butterfly conservation... #brassicas #caterpillars #butterflies #butterflies🦋 #allotment #allotmentuk #gyo #kitchengarden #gardening #allotmentlife #vegplot #organic #harvest #vegetablegarden #eatwhatyougrow #homesteading #horticulture #growyourown #growyourownfood #vegetablegrowing #growyourownfood #harvest #horticulture #kitchengardener #organicvegetables #smallholdinguk
