Attack of the cute cabbage butterfly caterpillar




My POOR, POOR broccoli and cauliflower plants! I went out this morning and they look so bad from the caterpillars feasting on them that I'm not sure they will make it. I bought some organic pest spray but it doesn't seem to be working on them. The damn things are so cute you hate to kill them off, but I want broccoli more than cute worms in my garden! I did some research and heard about biological bacteria called BtK that kills them without harming the plants/environment so I'll have to get some to mix up and put on my plants. Until then I am for sure going to attempt Terror's cucumber/pie tin method to see it that will work.
