It sounds like you have cabbage lopers (little green catapillars) that like all brassica family .
The brassica family (wild mustard) includes : BokChoy cabbage, kale, broccoli, cauliflower,brussel sprouts , turnip, and mustard.
An organic control is BT ( Bacillus Thuringiensis ) a natural occuring pesticide that gives catapillars terminal flu .
Do not use BT around flowers since it affects all types of Lepidoptera ( moths and butterflies)

As few as were on the leaves, I just smashed them. I have used Sevin dust before when there were a lot of them in the garden. Just a light dusting on the leaves before the heads appear.

Will Neem Oil work? If not, I need to get Bacillus Thuringienis for my keyhole gardens and a raised garden
that has quite a few of that family in it. I plan on eating and sharing each and every one of these plants.
