Whats eating my cabbage? I don't see any bugs on them at give a fly or two every few minutes. None of my other veggies are getting ravaged, so whats the deal?I put pesticides on it earlier and it didn't help. Could it not be bug related?

Ill give you a piece of advice.
Don't grow cabbage. It isnt worth it.

>>1177897
why? it's only about two months per head and they're small enough to fit quite a few in a good area. although I live in florida so I don't care about seasons.

Likely cabbage moth or grasshopper, but my money is on cabbage moth. If it is a real problem try putting up a fly screen around your patch, shouldnt be that expensive.

Alternatively you could also use surface or systemic insecticides.... or you could try to encourage beneficial insects/arachnids to live there, they will eat most things that come into contact with your cabbage

I love wasps. I always leave their nests up in florida because they're bros as long as I don't fuck with them. and also mud daubers are hella rad.

Not OP but I'll just throw this in out of concern.

My cherry trees were nearly killed by Japanese beetles last fall. One of them was nearly completely defoliated by October and I was seriously concerned that it just wouldn't make it.

How do I make sure these weeaboo beetles don't fuck with my trees this year?

Probably cabbage worms.

First, look them up so you know what they look like. Then see if you can find them. In the morning they're often low down on the stalks.

After finding and destroying them, spray down the plants really well with the hose. Knock off all that little worm shit.

Then, check EVERY day for new little turds, or holes gone from new growth.

If you see that, then you gotta get the new worms.
