On April 3rd, I planted the 2nd early spring batch of Cabbages and covered them with gallon jugs. The very next day, I checked them closely to see how they were doing. One of the Cabbages already had holes in the leaves. I got out the BT (Bacillus Thuringiensis, an organic alternative), mixed it up, and sprayed it on.
On reading the instructions, I noted that BT should not be stored over 90 degrees. We had kept it in the shed. I shall watch it carefully to make sure that BT is doing what it is supposed.
Today, I noted a White Cabbage Butterfly gently flying through the yard. It is the 1st I have seen this season. Their larva can do considerable damage to my precious Cabbages.
I am watching carefully.
