Thank you! It worked out well. The cabbage loopers and heat would have destroyed them in the summertime.

“The cabbage loopers and heat would have destroyed them in the summertime.”

That’s a whole ‘nother subject - timing planting to defeat whatever PESTS you have in your area.

I do that with my Raspberries. I grow ‘Heritage’ so I can cut them all the way back in the spring and get ONE crop, later in the season (Sept/Oct). That way the @#$%^&*! Japanese Beetles are DEAD (and gone to HELL where they belong!) and also the ‘Picnic Bugs’ (those tiny black beetles) are gone, so I have little to no damage to my Raspberries.
