  1. The universe seems stacked against brassicas.

    I was expecting an army of slugs, however it was cabbage worms that chomped some of my cauliflowers down to the ribs.

    They're sneaky bastards so I smooshed every single one I could find and then showered all the plants in neem oil solution.

    I have no idea what I'm doing.

    If you see these pupae on your brassica leaves - don't get rid of them. They are braconid wasp pupae - they parasitize cabbage loopers. I put them back in the arugula patch after taking the picture. This year I will try to grow sweet alyssum to feed the adult wasps.
