Tom,

Even with bt I've had little green worms in my broccoli in the fall. Granted, it was broccoli planted in the spring that got huge and kept pumping out nice side shoots until October. i'm not as worried about the cabbage as it seems to be easier to get complete spray coverage.

Kath,

I'm not putting in transplants but am direct sowing my fall broccoli and cabbage plus carrots and brussel sprouts this weekend. We are supposed to reach 100 in some areas Wednesday and Thursday so I'm kind of glad I took the lazy way out planning for fall! We are already in drought conditions over by Lake Champlain, but the nice thing is the lawn stopped growing - so no mowing this week, but I am watering the veggies a lot.
