Found a bunch of holes eating into my cabbage plant that I have in a pot. Did some research and found this green worm on the underside of a leave. Found a smaller one on another leave. I tried the hot water pouring over the leaves to see if it would work. I have also heard flour and neem oil as cures as well.

I've planted cabbage twice in my life and both times I couldn't keep them under control. Last time I got one head of cabbage that was worth anything. I tried everything. I don't plant cabbage anymore. Good luck.

The cabbage looks like it is growing really good. I check the leaves daily. It is only one plant so not to hard to do.
