I have a floating row cover on one of my  4 x 10' beds that has cole 
crops in it. The average last frost date is next week. It can get 
pretty hot here in Virginia pretty fast but at this time of year we 
typically have highs in the mid-sixties.

So my question is, how long do I leave those floating row covers on 
there? I put them on because I wanted the bug protection. Last year I 
didn't get a single bite of broccoli or kale or collards because of 
the caterpillars. I want to actually eat some this year. But I just 
read that the temperature under the floating row covers can get much, 
much higher than the air temperature. And my cole crops won't like 
that. So do I leave them on until harvest? Remove them at some point?
