Q&A - What pests will I find in my fall greens?
Question:
I am planting greens in my fall garden for the first time. Are there any pests or diseases I should be concerned about?
Answer:
If you are growing brassica crops (cabbage and broccoli) cabbage worms may be a problem. But one of the bigger problems is that it may be difficult to keep the plants alive in the heat of the summer as they start to grow. For insect problems search for the method of control based on the insect.
