KALE
The photo on the left illustrates what happens when young kale isn't protected - it gets eaten by cabbage loopers.  The kale on the right, photographed on the same day (early October) was grown by Donna and Brian, who protected it with row cover (the white mess on the ground to the right) until it was about a foot tall.

Another member reports great success with Bacillus thuringiensis or BT.  

TOMATOES
Varieties:
'Sun Gold' is grown exclusively by one member.  It produces like crazy and is the perfect size for snacking - her grandchildren love it.
