    I got these plants in late. Late April... First time gardener and had space so I put them in. My neighbor told me from the start that I was fighting a losing battle. I have sprayed twice with Seven Liquid, but bugs seem to be winning. Brussels Sprouts look like that might yield, but I am worried about the cabbage. Any suggestions or comments??

    It might be a losing battle for this year. Next year I would get a floating row cover. That is what I am trying this year. Last year I lost all my cole crops to flea beetles. They never got a chance to grow. The year before the cabbages were full of worms. :( Hopefully I will get some broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower this year. I just planted some more seeds indoors for a fall crop. Hopefully there will be time for them to mature too. I will have to post some pics.
