The broccolis are getting huge, and they have started to set heads.  It is so exciting.

 

Believe me when I tell you I check them every day.

 

Mostly, we're checking for worms, but we do it every day.  Cabbage white butterflies lay their eggs on the underside of the leaves, and when the caterpillars emerge they start eating.  See those little holes in the leaves?  That's where we start looking for the worms, and usually find a few.  Every day!!!

 

It's easy enough, we only have 6 cabbages, 6 broccoli, and 6 cauliflowers.  Oh yeah, they go after the kale too.  Well, it's worth it to check and pick them off, because they can devour it all in very little time.  So we just do it.  Sweet rewards in the end.

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
