But this is not a good news.
A week is a great time for my vines in my backyard, but not for my broccoli patch.
When I was starting my vacation, this patch looked so lush.
But when I went home, they looked so poor. 
I think the leaves were so sweet and juicy, so the caterpillars loved it so much.
Oh...please...
From ten plants, only two plants that still looked healthy.
Oh... no... a little disaster...
Actually, I have had a big expectation on this patch.
Cause they looked so thrives at the first, until the caterpillars were killing my dream.
This was the best broccoli patch that I have ever had, but all was over.
I should starting new step...
It's so hard on growing Brassicas...
I always make sure that I put netting over my brassicas as the caterpillars love it so much. I hope the two plants you have left go on to give you a harvest.
ReplyDeleteI hope so. I think I should try put netting over my brassicas.
DeleteI have trouble growing it out in the garden even though I can grow nice cabbage right next to it. I think that it has to be cooler than it is here for it to grow properly. Of course bugs don't help matters and they love broccoli.
ReplyDeleteI think cabbage less delicious than my broccoli and kale. My cabbage patch looks so lush, but it's not on my broccoli and kale patch. Maybe cabbage is the ladt choice... lol
DeleteI have had caterpillar problems on broccoli as well. I didn't grow it this year for that very reason.
ReplyDeleteYa, I understand your reason. Sometime, I think I should 'pause' to grow broccoli on my garden for several time.
DeleteWelcome Endah!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you remembered me.
I know your problem. Caterpillars love broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage ...
I have ecological garden. I do not use chemicals because I stopped to plant broccoli and cauliflower.
I'm so sorry that I can not help you.
Greetings.
Hi, Lucia! I'm glad you back again.
DeleteYes, sometimes caterpillar make me so frustation. But I love to try and try. So many failures will be great lessons for me.
Have a wonderful week
I stopped growing broccoli when my plants never bloomed. Guess it was too hot here. Better luck with your other veggies. Linda@Wetcreek Blog
ReplyDeleteActually, the weather is cool enough right now. So, my broccoli patch is starting bloomed, although only a few plants remain. Hope the weather will be cooler and nicer.
DeleteHappy gardening.
aduhh.. daunnya sudah tinggal rangka sahaja ya.. coba lagi Endah!
ReplyDeleteBetul Kak Mar, sedih rasanya. Ini mau menyemai lagi. Ulatnya sangat rakus, semua dimakan... :(
DeleteThey haven't left you much have they? Like Jo we have to net as what the pigeons don't eat the caterpillars do. Unfortunately netting doesn't keep the slugs out
ReplyDeleteYes, they have. Here, netting is unusual technique on keeping brassicas from caterpillar.
DeleteOh, I know the feeling of disappointment. My tomatoes were doing great this year and just before they turned red, they got a sickness that made them all brown!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your tomatoes. I often find that case on my garden too. It make me so dissapointed. Hope you still have some healthy tomatoes.
DeleteYa ampun ulat-ulat... plis jangan makan tanaman Bu Endah lagi ya...
ReplyDeleteBroccoli saya sepertinya jadi favorit ulat deh, selalu saja jadi bulan bulanan ulat setiap kali tanam.
Deletesalam endah...
ReplyDeletefeel so sorry to see your poor broccoli...
Salam Ana...
DeleteThanks. I should give more attention to this patch I think.
