My turnip are dead

06-08-2013, 07:57 PM

Planted 8 small bell turnips about about 6 weeks ago the last 2 days they have started to die so i dug one up to have a look at it found the root full of little white grubs .

I did not know that you had to put cabbage collars around turnips to deter cabbage root fly this is a first for me as i have grown turnips for 2 years only about 24 or so you live and learn

All brassicas are at risk of damage by the same pests . My main problem is cabbage whites so I net with enviromesh to be sure which avoids any need for collors too.

Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

Which one are you and is it how you want to be?
