BT Monterey works like a charm on the caterpillars.

I barely have the patience or grace with 72 cell trays!😂🥰😂 I couldn't do it! But hats off to you girl for doing it! I think I would've chucked the tray!🙈😆😂

Hey Jill would you please tell us or maybe even show us how you amend the raised beds. Thank you so much. Your chard and lettuce are beautiful in the container.

Looooved this video it was so helpful! Love systems and they ARE essential for growth

DE will not help with caterpillars, only with pests with an exoskeleton. What it does is scratches that exoskeleton and the bugs dehydrate from the inside.

A wooden skewer or even a toothpick can be used to pop out each plant by pushing in at the corner and lifting it up in a prying manner. Hope this helps someone.

7B zone here as well. 2 years in a row those stupid 🐛 got me. Even with netting 😞 I wish you lots of luck!!!

Jill your patient are commendable. I am not sure if I would do it but watching you was fun. Yesterday I did clean one garden bed about 5 hours. Today I am aching all over so today is a rest day for me.

Jill I was watching you push all the little seedling plugs out, one by one and I had a thought, what if you had a pice of wood, with a whole heaps of nails in the same space as the plugs, maybe two rows worth or more if you want. And then all you would have to do is place the plugs on top of the flat top of the nails and they would push the plug up as you push the tray down. You could have as may rows of nails as you want, it wouldn’t have to be the whole tray. Just a thought 💭 🥰

I started a whole flat of various brassicas. Due to the grasshoppers I was growing them in the house & placing them outside w netting a few hrs a day. The nite b4 I was to plant them I put them in the greenhouse. Thinking they would survive the nite. The next morning the whole flat was nothing but sticks. I was discouraged & devastated. However, it was a lesson learned.

[bevstegeman]

We also have those caterpillars in NW Indiana. They come from a small white butterfly that lays her eggs on the brassicas.

[lynhyslop]

I live in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and my brassica were annihilated by pests. Netting next year!

[driftingsoulsisters]

Would love to see some time laps of you working in the garden.

[ElderandOakFarm]

Those green cabbage moth caterpillars blend in so well too!

[SimpleMandy]

Planted my first fall garden and was surprised by the caterpillars! I am also in 7b and one day I walked out to my garden to see my cabbage, and some brassicas, were devoured. I am hand picking them and using Neem oil which seems to be working wonders!

[suehinson]

Am I the only one who misses the "action" videos? Being a visual learner I do miss seeing the work. Hope everyone has a great weekend and God bless.

[maryjemison]

Love the Green Stalk looks beautiful and delicious 😋

[lvanderb]

We have the cabbage moth here in Ontario, Canada too... This year I was very deliberate about interplanting with petunia (caterpillar deterrent) and lavender (moth deterrent) - it totally helped! I did a comparison with mesh and just the flowers and I ended up removing the mesh from my cabbage and broccoli. I also have basil and marigolds and nasturtium and alyssum and some other herbs interplanted and it has totally worked. I still get a bit of damaged, but none of the lacing.

[maryloubartoli]

Hi Jill..was wondering if it would be possible for you to show the set up you have in your shelves and the type of growlights...thanks ..

[donnaschofield]
