This past summer they got nearly all the kale, broccoli and hide inside the brussel sprouts. I noticed they have made it through the winter and pulled up the remains of all those crops. I spent far too long cleaning off the bugs and trying to salvage what I could from my crops (NOT going to let those bugs get it all!). I tried all the conventional means to rid plants of aphids and nothing worked. Does anyone have any ideas? I’m reluctant to plant any brassicas this summer at this point.

Lou, I just sow it in the ground in early to late May, here in Maine!

I tell people that I can’t not grow Kale…. It grows here in Scarborough Maine like I’ve never seen. Furthermore, perhaps a benefit of global warming, my Kale( and tomatoes) have begun reseeding themselves and I frequently have a two year old row or cluster of Kale! It never would have happened 10 years ago…. I do very little to help it. A little compost, bit of manure!
