Yep, the dreaded cabbage worm is on attack in the Taylor family garden. Last night, they were discovered munching away on my beloved cabbages. Since I'm an organic gardener, I won't treat with any nasty chemicals. I have placed ashes on the soil around the plants. I have concocted a spray of garlic/red pepper/onion and have applied it to all the little eggs bunches.

We'll see how this little experiment works. I understand the concept of letting the bugs have some and some for me. However, these little fellows are just to hungry for my small garden.
