Hi people,

Mrs BoJ is growing these plants here in the UK (sorry about the quality of the pics, they are off the camera phone).

A) Can anyone tell me what type of plant they are? I believe they are Thai.

How do we stop those pesky insects from eating them? I don't really know much about pesticide etc and i don't know which is safest for human consumption.

Thanks for any help

Looks like Chinese Kale to me

Since you eat the leaves I would avoid pesticides. Since they are container grown it may be best to pick the bugs off by hand

BJ,

try some Neem oil sprayed around them.

Good pics, what phone model?
