Sis, you could plant onions near the greens. It keeps the moth and worms away. Also, spray with an organic insecticide thats made with daisies for additional protection. I can send pix...it helped me greatly. I can send the fellow gardener's video.
Thanks for the tips! I normally use BT, but I must have flipped when I decided to pull these worms off by hand! I’ll google the this organic pesticide. I wasn’t aware one was made when daisies. Thanks 🙏🏾
Mad respect for the bug removal bare handed. Girl you so silly though. I still get the wiggle dance when I remove bugs with my 6 in tongs! 😂 Have a blessed day ❤
Everything looks good 👍.. I did this for my cabbage plants and squash last year as well, I daily picked worms and squash bugs and dropped them in a glass jar with half apple cider vinegar and water. I kept the jar close to by garden bed because the will eat your food crop down too the ground, yes we all are officially a gardener to the heart too pick up the worms like they are a hand full of nuts or candy.. Happy gardening 2024 , yes we are proud of you ❤️
Consider carrying a container of soapy water or alcohol to drop them in. Truthfully it’s probably because I couldn’t pick them off by hand like that! Mad props to you!! 😂😂😂
I have pretty nice success with putting moth balls in the garden. The white cabbage moth just flies right by. Before, I would have to wash off the eggs before they hatch, but of course you always miss a few. Then🐛🐛🐛I hate them! 👎🏾
@@TexasBluebonnetHomestead Hi, Yeah I put them in old socks. I cut the sock down & make a little baggie put in some moth balls, twist them closed with some rubber wire from the $Tree, and hang them around the garden. You can use some pieces of cloth to make a baggie & rubber bands, whatever you have.
I have to say this, just by you picking those worms up by your hands, girl You are definitely a real gardner!
Thank you! I don’t know where I found the courage this season.

That was funny. 😆 I did have them in my hand like a hand full of nuts. 😂 I’m dreading these squash bugs.
My chickens would love those snacks
I sure wish I could give them to you. 😂
have done that many times. I now use tulle to cover my plants and no worms.
I may have to think about covering mine in the future.
Love you dedication!! I am more of flicker!!!lol
I can just image you flicking them. 🤣 I used to do that also.
Good morning, Lasha❤ Your curly kale is so beautiful. Have a blessed day 😊💚
Thank you! You too!
Hey friend, ugh I can’t stand them! Nice job removing them. Rawwwr 😂😂
Same here.

I’m definitely going to get a container with soap water, because they crawl so fast.
We need more vids like these!! Keep up the great work 👏👏👏 you need to win the next battle 😅
That's the plan! Thanks for visiting.
It’s the kale that they’re attracted to!!! If you don’t remove the kale quickly… the worms will destroy everything else. 😊 Good luck!
You are right. I just harvested the kale a few days ago.

My grandmother used to use moth balls in the closet, never thought of adding moth balls in the garden, but it makes perfect sense.

Get some BT and save yourself some heartache, frustration and work.
It’s a lot of work, this is definitely not my everyday strategy, but I was so frustrated by the amount of worms. I wanted them off immediately.
