Do you have holes in your brassica leaves? (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, etc) Cabbage worms or cabbage loopers might be to blame. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Here are a few ideas for preventing & treating cabbage worms⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
• Use row covers after you plant. Row covers prevent cabbage moths from laying eggs on the leaves of your plants⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
• Look for and destroy the eggs and worms on the undersides of leaves (my chickens love them!)⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
• Attract native parasitic wasps to your garden by planting alyssum and other small flowered annuals around your garden⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
• If you are seeing cabbage moths, begin a weekly treatment of garlic spray (may help repel them)⁣⁣⁣ https://amzn.to/3jwGuLi
