Brussels Sprouts

Eight Jade Cross Brussels sprout seedlings were planted in the garden.These were purchased in flats and planted in pots to establish strong roots for about 7 days in the greenhouse. Brussels sprouts grow well in my area. The cabbage moth is a problem some years. I saw one around today, which is very early for this pest. I will use diatomaeous earth powder spray in an attempt to discourage, plus a hard water spray to remove any egg slime. Later when the ground warms sufficiently 20C) the area will be heavily mulched with wood chips for moisture retention.
