I'm planning a greens garden this year out front on the South side of
the property. At the very least I want to grow chard, and perhaps
spinach and lettuces.

I've had a really bad time in the past with cabbage worms or some such
type:

That pic is from a couple of winters ago when I was trying to grow
broccoli and chard. They actually managed to kill a horseradish plant.

I plan to try BT if I run into this problem again, but is it safe for
humans to consume if I spray it on leaves we intend to consume?


That pic was inspirational...............for BT proponents ;-)

Indeed. g They did a real number on my plants and I hand-picked the
damned things at dawn every morning when I got home from work. (I work
night shifts).


Bought some chard seeds last week, it must be some sort of psychic
emanations.

Could be! Those damned worms eat ten times their weight in greenery
every day, I swear!
