• Bean seed flies - 26
• Pollen beetles - 133
• Flea beetles - 21

We also checked the carrot fly traps and caught 154 flies on 3 traps in overwintered carrots and 215 flies on 3 traps in newly-sown carrots.

There were no diamond-back moths, silver Y moths, cabbage moths or turnip moths in our traps (2 traps per pest).

There were 20 cabbage root fly eggs around our 15 brassica plants.
