Q.cabbage pests and cauliflower pests

Zone 19060 | Anonymous added on June 5, 2020 | Answered

Normally with cabbage, they form a head but they are often damaged by pests like worms and pincher bugs. This year I just picked the leaves to prevent that. How can I prevent the pests from getting in the heads of cabbage? Also, I am having good success with cauliflower this year. I’m afraid if I tie them up I will get bugs damaging them as they will be trapped under the leaves. Should I check them daily or every other day?
