I am determined to have a garden this year minus the bugs or diseases getting through to them first (hasn't worked in the past). I also am trying to maintain it organic since I enjoy 2 small children. Any thoughts?
Answers: These little guys are the cabbage worm butterflies. They lay eggs that become cabbage worms, and cabbage loopers that eat adjectives the holes in your greens and broccoli. If you are ready to use an organic bioinsecticide, Bacteria thuringiensis is efficient on the hatched larva (the worms). You can find Bt online, or should be able to locate it at your local nursery. The hatch worms feed at hours of darkness, are green or green with at tinny yellow stripe down it's fund.
You can use row covers (make a half hoop beside rabbit fence over your plants and cover it next to a light colored sheet, or burlap, or shadecloth, and brick it down to keep hold of it from blowing away) to keep the butterflies from lay their eggs in the first place. Their season ends next to June, end of June.
u should cover the veggies only water 2 times a year in the mornin and surrounded by the evening..the moths love them they lay eggs exspecialy cabbage in the leaves..
