Growing Spinach, also English spinach

I planted spinach seedlings from garden centre in my newly created no dig garden last week. they seem to be settling in ok except the outer leaves are yellow. I'm hoping this is just a settling in thing or should I be doing something about it now. Also discovered a little white /pale yellow butterfly visiting vegetables. I looked under leaves and have been squashing tiny white single eggs. How do I deter these butterflies or moths.
