I'm inspecting pretty close and just seeing those little green 
caterpillars. I had row covers on there for awhile and, although they 
seemed very thin and weightless, lots of the leaves on my kale and 
broccoli were turning white/brown, as though they were sunburned. So 
I finally took the row covers off. Maybe next year I will try a 
different brand of row covers.
