I've got clusters of dark green eggs (I think), about the size of uncooked tapioca, on my brassicas, on the soil around the roots and at the bottom of the pots. Any ideas what they are?

Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.

THey will hatch into catapillars i'm afraid. Destroy the eggs now and you stand a good chance of saving your leaves!!!!!!
I have loads of catapillars munching on my Brassicas at the mo ( this is my first year)
Good luck -
I also have the lots of little yellow eggs that turn into cabbage white butterfly, do you know which butterfly the green eggs turn into?Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.

Me to!
On the same plant I also found 4 fat caterpillars who had been having a good munch.
Me suspects that this deposit is caterpillar droppings.
I soon sent the caterpillars flying!
The eggs are definitely yellow and I had been rubbing them off the plants.
Obviously missed these 4 fellas!Comment

The yellow or orange eggs turn into caterpillars. The little green deposits are indeed caterpillar sh*t
