I’m Belgian, so growing Brussel sprouts is very common here. Last year, I planted them early in the season (like in April, whereas you normally plant them later so you can eat them in the fall) and I didn't have a lot of bugs eating them. The ones I planted later, were completely digested by caterpillars.
I use several herbs to plant around them to keep the bugs a away, and I think this year I will protect my cabbages with an insect net...

I thought I answered the post directly.. I understand they are familiar to you yes :)
Worst thing here is some mites covering these plants, and they are too small for any net unfortunately.
I'm itching to start gardening now, but it is still below zero here and garden is filled with snow :(
@aisu, do you find my answer, or do I need to repost it?
