All vegetables in my garden are growing but not mature yet to be harvested by us. But bugs have been "harvesting" their "food" before we do.
Today I and my wife did bug hunting and found about 6 or 8 bugs from inside and outside of my Chinese cabbages. They are destined to be killed by me for our good harvest. Oh, God, please forgive me to kill them..but we have to. I'm not a christian but I can not help feeling sorry for bugs to be killed.

I stopped bugs on my cabbages this year by putting a mosquito net over them so that the butterflies could not lay their eggs. It was very successful.

Yeah, insect nets have been set up and are very successful to ward off cabbage butterfly. But the bugs I'm concerned are "cutworms" which stay in soil during daytime and feed leaves at night. I always pick them up from inside leaves and kill them.
