hello thomas , i used to garden at several sites in northern n.m. about 25 years ago. what you have is cabbage worms (they are green ) you might be blessed as well someday by army worms they come in a sort of camo color.. we don't use b.t., though i think it is allowable on organic standards, because we want to be in control of what we use not depend on store bought prodocts. so what to do.. if you only have a small garden you can hand pick them (check for egg clusters under the leaves) also i've noticed that wasps (like the ones that sting)eat the worms, so get some wasps if you don't have some and try not to kill them if you do . they are your ally's in the worm war! say hi to the sky out there for me :)sharon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Schley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 8:24 PM Subject: Re: Cabbage Worm (?)
