I planted my "supposed" to be Cabbage plants a few days ago. I kept thinking these plants dont look like cabbage and I know I picked cabbage from the plant trays at the garden center. Turns out they where broccli. Dont look like it is going to matter as something is eating my plants one at a time. I did go back to the garden store and bought some cabbage plants, Havent set them out yet as I am still trying to figure out what is eating the broccli. I placed a security camera pointing down the row of broccli plants, but havnt gotten any pic of the varmit yet. I may have to rig a net over the plants until they get big enough to survive what ever is nibbleing the leaves off and cutting the stem at ground level.
Shavings of Irish Spring soap work. It is the strongest obnoxious. smell. I put it in vitamin bottles or you can put on the soil. I had some thing eat last years snow peas as they came up but next batch I did the Irish Spring and they left it alone. And that did not affect plants or the tase of the peas.
