Just been & checked on my dadās Brussels š¬ does anyone know whatās happened here? I know 100% itās not slugs which when something like this happens it usually is. No sign of caterpillars so Iām stumped, itās the only plants this has happened to. Everything else is fine š¤·āāļø
Weāve had tons of earwigs this year and Iām pretty sure they have been chewing up my plants
0 gillningar I thought they liked the damp dark? Iāve often lifted wood & found them in the dirt underneath ( I have some outside my back door). Thatās confused me as thereās nothing there, there are slug pellets around the bottom & no other plants nearby. My dadās really not happy. His beetrootās tiny this year too as well as woody, Iām going to sort out the soil, making sure the ph is right, as thatās something Iāve not done.

That looks more like the damage a cabbage worm can cause. They will eat Brussels. So sorry!
0 gillningar I know something like this happened to my cabbages last year but I found caterpillars then picked them off & sprayed neem oil, that sorted it. Not seen anything so Iāll look up what a cabbage worm is ( looks like ) Iāve honestly never seen this before. My first thought was the book the hungry caterpillar my children used to read when they were young, but no caterpillars so Iāll check out these worms
