Those look like cabbage loopers & their poop. There was one on one of the cabbages you filmed. It's a green worm. You can take them off or spray some BT.
I was about to say, that pest poop. I'm in TN too but my containers are ok. The warm weather are making your broccoli go to flower. Brassicas like the cool. The insects are confused too!!!
What is your cabbage variety in the tunnel? It’s beautiful
Try cayenne pepper that should do it😊
That's the poop from the cabbage worm. You touched him. They are green. You have to look closely.
When you touched one of your cabbages, I saw a green worm. Those droppings are cabbage loopers/green caterpillars. They are eating your brassica plants and pooping on them.
I live in planting zone 7b. It has been raining 3 to 4 times a week for close to 2 weeks. Because we’ve had 12 to 14 days of high temperatures reaching in sixties and seventies and lows in mid-forties to low sixties, some insects have returned. Later this week, temperature morning lows forecast is below freezing from Saturday through Monday. That will stop insects again.
This morning I noticed a few wholes in some of my cabbage leaves that I think were caused by slugs. I saw poop on top of a stone near one of my broccoli plants, I immediately dusted them and cabbages with food grade diatomaceous earth (DE). I used BT last year and it did not work as well as DE.
When broccoli heads are no longer firm and/or show blooms, it is time to harvest regardless of size. The blooms are edible.
You have a caterpillar and you just touched it! I saw it! Those are droppings! It’s hard to fight them when it’s raining so much but just look all over the plant for them! But BT will help but you will have to use it everyday until you get this under control!
It’s been raining a lot here in North Alabama 7B too. I been fighting Aphids. They don’t die! 😒😒😒 I’ve heard seasoned gardeners say planting leeks, onions and garlic with your brassicas to help with pest pressure! Don’t get discouraged! It will be ok! Use that BT and it will be fine! Try again next year! Blessings 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I was screaming at the TV! Barbara the worm Barbara the worm! It's on the Cabbage 🤣🤣🤣 I hope you caught him. The garden looks great to 🤗
You don’t see that worm on the first cabbage you need to spray or use Hi yield or some seven dust it’s bad hun I’m in Mississippi
If you are in the south BT does not work
Spray after every rain 😢
Hi Barbara!! It’s a worm. One fell down when you moved the leaf & I think one was on another plant!! I hate those things. Also there are some little black ones that will do that also. That’s what I’ve found on my brassicas🤦🏾♀️
Yup, worm 😮
You are still getting really good harvest
Just watched the video, food grade diatomaceous earth may help get rid of the worms as it will cut them up
Yeap catapillar and it's poop. Go through and pick them off.
Hi! You have Cabbage Loopers, BT will take care of them, just follow the directions on the bottle it'll take care of em 😊 Blessings my sister!
Hey Qween I'm in Southaven Ms. That look like 🐌 are eating your cabbage . I had the 🐜 I can't stand them.
I’m in Southern Indiana where it rains more than in Seattle and that’s why I have to find veggies that can handle the immense heat and rain.
It's caterpillar poop. Cabbage worms are the same color of the cabbage so they're hard to find. BT spray will help. Hope you save your cabbage.
Your video just popped up in my feed and I'm enjoying it! Your garden is beautiful.
Your carrots, lettuce, and kale look so yummy.
