Growing parsnips under enviromesh has given us happier plants. The photo below shows how well the parsnips have developed, with very long roots.
parsnips' long roots
The parsnip leaves are in perfect conditiom, but in previous years the parsnips never looked well and grew slowly. We think the enviromesh must have kept the insects off the parsnips & these were the insects which caused unseen damage which resulted in slow growth.
Enviromesh netting has had a huge impact on vegetable gardening, and would be a welcome gift or Christmas present for a vegetable gardener.

It is possible to grow brassicas (cabbage family) in the garden without using sprays or other chemicals.
Sprouts, cabbage, broccoli and cauliflowers are damaged by:
* aphids
* white fly
* cabbage
* white caterpillars
* and other insects.
There is a net, specially designed to keep insects out. If this is spread over the plants it has a dramatic effect.

strong>Carrot fly (latin name – Psila rosae) is a disaster, and it is worth knowing how to avoid it.
The carrot flies lay eggs in cracks of the soil, near carrots & parsnips. The eggs hatch
out into maggots which enter the roots & feed on them. They ruin the crop.
* Carrot flies are not strong fliers, so a windswept site is an
advantage.
* Grow a resistant strain.
* Sow seeds thinly, to avoid having to thin the carrots out, as the
fly is attracted by the smell
* weed & pull carrots on a dry, still evening so the scent of the
carrot does not reach the fly
* use a net to keep the fly off the carrot
net
*use a vertical barrier, at least 70cm high, of fine mesh or
polythene around the crop
