Small blue caterpillars are turning my cabbages into lace doilies.
What can I use to control them that is not harmful to humans eating

Bacillus Thuringiensis.

Will the plants recover when the worms are gone? They are pretty
chewed up, but then the heads have barely begun to form. Seems like
there's plenty of time for new, healthy growth.
