Last year, I was picking dozens of cabbage worms off my brassicas daily until my sunflowers bloomed... After that, I removed probably a total of five the rest of the season. It turns out, the finches showed up for the sunflowers, but stayed for the worms.

Nice Video Luke. I love listening to videos like this. I like that you are redoing the old care/planting guide videos, it’s not a quality issue for me, I believe the way we grow and plant guides change and it’s good to update our knowledge every now and again. Sometimes we will stick to the old ways and sometimes we might be inspired to try something new. I have significant back issues and RA and I am always looking for good sources of info on gardening accessibility for disabled gardeners. I also am always looking for videos on reviews of garden tools that would make gardening easier. These are just ideas for videos I don’t see often.

Thank you, Luke, for the informative video about planting cabbage - full of good tips. I condition my (sandy) soil beforehand with bokashi and terra preta in January and February. In Germany we intercrop cabbage with celeriac or celery root (a wonderful vegetable by the way) to ward off the cabbage moth. To prevent the moth altogether without using a pesticide (can be detrimental when later making sauerkraut) I put the cabbage under tulle hoop tunnels. We get good results every year.

Fertilized yesterday. I’ve been hopping all over trying to get it all done at one time. Maybe concentrating on one thing at a time is the way to go.

I also bought Danvers 126 which also says annual. My question for both carrots and cabbages with these specific plants is when will I get seeds and is there something I need to do different? t Thanks.
