If you're a cabbage aficianado and grow it for consumption, or, if you plan on growing decorative cabbage and kale this fall, here's a tip for you. To deter cabbage worms from eating the leaves, mix up a solution of 3 tsp cayenne pepper to 1 quart of water. Use a spray bottle and apply to leaves, stem and the ground directly surrounding each plant. This cure for the cabbage worm pest works for kale, brussel sprouts and kohlrabi also!
