This was my first year to have moths attack my young seedling in the green house. It is very disheartening when it happens.

Last year I put netting over my cabbages to keep the moths out, but it only worked initially. It kept the destruction down a bit, but they found their way in eventually! <br />-JaimeNgo Family Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15484243776589015749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598627963589889513.post-48573897421349663602012-07-08T15:16:52.858-07:002012-07-08T15:16:52.858-07:00Wow, it's all looking fantastic.

I am hoping to incorporate more flowers with it in the years to come... we have been focussing on renovations and food growing so far, but it's time to pretty it up a bit!<br /><br />Only in... - what happened to your kale? Mine grew without the benefit of cover but I'm curious what happened to yours...<br /><br />Andrea - magazine quality it is not LOL - you may remember me lamenting earlier in the season about how messy and NOT straight my rows were... I had no time to fiddle with such things, but as the plants grew the lack of straight lines wasn't as evident, LOL As long as the plants grow I'm happy :) Try a row cover for your brassicas - it really works and it's not that expensive..Little Home In The Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14542813650753976168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598627963589889513.post-29843015722015143802012-07-07T04:09:30.758-07:002012-07-07T04:09:30.758-07:00I think your row covers look neat.

I really hate cabbage moths. I even tried spraying each with a pesticide, but it was a "green" pesticide and it did NOTHING! Then I tried to squish the moths with my hands but I was too afraid..ha...so I just hosed them with water and I know that did nothing to hurt them..oh well! love,andreaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598627963589889513.post-72582960587717385632012-07-07T00:45:45.195-07:002012-07-07T00:45:45.195-07:00I had a terrible time with my kale this year and m...I had a terrible time with my kale this year and maybe if I use this technique next year, will have better luck..it is the first time I have heard of it.
