I was planning to try them next year, but not so sure now.
I didn't know they were the prey of the cabbage moth.

I love nasturtiums, thus year had two pots of them .....but, am now cured of wanting them as ( as usual) they are covered in black fly, no more of them for me.

I plant pots of nasturtiums close to the brassicas in the hopes the little (and not so little) blighters will feast on them and not the caulis, broccoli, cabbages and cavolo nero.

Still have to squidge them though or I'd have no nasturtiums left.

Too late fir this year but any advise on how to stop nasturtiums getting eaten to death by cabbage white caterpillars
I know we need to encourage butterflies but my gardens been inundated with cabbage whites and now my leafs are skeletonised by these caterpillars
