seriously, plant some kale the moths will only attack that and leave others alone. May have to replant kale a couple of times but its really cheap at Bunnings.  :) :) :)

I thought kale only thrives in the colder months. Can I plant some seeds now?

not quite that cold CP, not much snow this winter. It does get quite hot in summer though. Often hotter than Perth. Always need to replace kale as soon as moths eat it so usually buy seedlings. Sure you can courton, anytime.

I think you'd even find  polar bears love the off odd kale leaf when they're not drinking bundy

You need my Harry astarra. He doesn't mind ducks but has absolutely no time for rabbits or possums.

How's Leo going?

My FIL is Croatian and he has plastic snakes in his veggie garden to scare the birds off his grapevines. They might also work for rabbits?
Another thing he has is empty foil cask wine bags blown up and blowing in the breeze.

I had plastic snakes everywhere when I lived on the Central Coast, didn't scare the birds but the neighbours got quite a fright.
