Broccoli and Cauliflower

After cleaning out the onion bed a couple of days ago, I've now planted my broccoli and cauliflower starts in that bed.  I zip-tied two metal hoops together to make larger ones.  Then I covered it with bird netting, hoping to keep out the cabbage butterflies, and then shade cloth.



I also moved all the broccoli that I started from seeds a couple of weeks ago into 4" pots.  I have 24 pots.  About 8 of them are sprouting broccoli.  The rest is a blend of varieties.  I may have overdone it. 


Update:

Yesterday I found a white butterfly inside the netting.  So now it is covered entirely in the shade cloth.
