If you are noticing any of your vegetables being eaten there's a good chance that it's the cabbage worm. Cabbage moths lay their eggs on the underside of leaves and then within a few days the worms start eating holes in all of your plants. It's especially common with plants in the brassica family. So I suggest putting up a hoop house with insect netting! It's super simple and very effective.
I purchased three (25 piece) large kits and it was enough to build my long row that was 3.5 feet wide by 30 feet long. As well as my raised bed that was 4.5 feet wide by 10 feet long and I had a few pieces to spare.

Excellent advice!
Thank you for sharing Audrey!
You're so welcome! 😊
Before covering, inspect the backs of the leaves for eggs the cabbage moths lay, otherwise, they’ll hatch into worms and have a chewing party in the hoop house. 🥴 The eggs look like grains of cornmeal.
Yes great advice for sure, I sprayed off the underside of all leaves before putting up the netting to make sure there were no eggs.
The fiberglass poles all cracked on mine within a week. I tried small hoops and tall hoops without any success. I need to do metal, the fiberglass didn’t last in AZ.
Yes, I’m guessing they won’t hold up good through the summer heat, but I’m hoping they last through the fall season. I definitely would suggest metal ones in the future because those will for sure last.
I bought and installed the same hoops and mesh, then I wondered if the mesh would let the winter rain through so I could turn off the drip and save water. Since my main problem is birds I could put a mesh with bigger holes on the hoops. What do you think Audrey?
Hi Lynn, the rain gets through this mesh just fine so you could definitely turn off your watering system and let the rain water 😊
Audrey you wave your hands and arms a bit much. Your videos are nice and informative! Thank you very much for sharing.
Thanks for the criticism and compliment. Talking with my hands is a habit that I’ll never be able to break so sorry if that bothers you lol!
Audrey, I talk with my hands too. If someone were to hold them down, I’d go mute! 🤣
@@AudreysLittleFarmdon’t Ever be sorry for that! What a strange comment to feel the need to say 🤔 thank you for the informative video 🙏🏼 😊 👍
