In the knowledge that Italy would win the world cup this year I decided to grow Cavalo Nero (a type of Italian cabbage cum Kale). The seed grew well and when the plants were about 4 inches tall with 6 or so leaves I planted them out. The next day I went out to find a few lumps had been taken out of their leaves. The slug beer trap was empty so I assumed caterpillars (although I couldn't see any) so I sprayed with liquid Derris. The next morning I went out and the plants had been stripped bare, with only their spiny stems remaining.
Three questions:
1. What do you think did this?
2. Will the plants recover?
3. How can I stop it happening again?
