Pest and Disease Watch
Slugs and snails are at their most damaging in June, particularly on young brassica transplants and lettuce. Check under pots and boards in the evening when they are most active. Aphids continue on broad beans — once harvested, remove plants entirely.
Blight risk rises steadily through the month as temperatures and humidity increase (see Grower’s Tips for the full seasonal strategy). Pigeons and parakeets remain a constant threat to all brassicas — net without exception. .
