I planted these guys in May, and the leaves keep getting eaten! no florets yet! I've tried 3 applications of permethrin (the white powder you can see) with no luck! Also tried a "Squirrel away" which is basically a little bag of cat hair and moth balls. Any suggestions?!

cabbage moth caterpillars love eating those leaves, but I'm sure there are other possible suspects.
