If you grow brassicas (kale, collards, broccoli, cabbage, mustard etc), you may see a new pest in our area called the Cross-Striped Cabbage worm.
Pay attention and save yourself pain next season!
🐛🐛🐛
Typically on brassicas, we see the White Cabbage Butterflies (Pieris rapae) that lay one egg at a time. They can be a nuisance but not a huge problem. Eggs are a small white cocoon that is easily brushed off the underside of leaves. A green caterpollar emerges from the egg, feeds on brassica leaves forms a chrysalis from which the White Butterfly emerges.
🐛🐛🐛
The Cross-Striped Cabbage Worm (Evergestis rimosalis) has a completely different life cycle. This is a small brown moth that lays large clusters of yellowish eggs on the underside of brassica leaves. Because there are many eggs the leaves get decimated quickly. Once the caterpillars reach maturity they drop to the soil to pupate. The pupa is small and sandy and is close to the surface. The adult moths emerge and begin mating, starting the cycle again. There can be 2 – 4 generations a season!
💚💚💚
Solutions!
1. Discard infected foliage
2. Scrape the soil beneath to find and destroy any of the sand-covered cocoons as they overwinter.
3. The next season, rotate brassicas to a different planting area.
4. Since this moth is in our area now, ALWAYS cover your brassicas with a floating row cover or insect barrier (netting). Since we now have early high heat in our planting area in SE Michigan, we recommend using the insect netting. This will keep the moth out.
5. Clean up plant debris around your brassicas.
💚💛💜
This pest was mostly found in the SE portions of the country but has recently been migrating north during storms.
We are seeing this pest at DA, have you seen it?

What beautiful weather! Come take a stroll at our gardens!
Yesterday and this morning there are many hummers darting around and seeming to have some fun! We were seeing 5 or 6 at a time! Such fun and such a fleeting time. Soon they will be gone.

They love the Black & Blue Salvia patch , by the zinnias in front of the pavilion.

A Goldenrod for every condition!
💛💛💛
An essential plant to help the pollinators, birds and wildlife. Goldenrods are considered Keystone species. The genus is Solidago and it supports over 120 species of moths and butterflies. Solidagos support around 42 species of Specialist Bees. These bees rely on the pollen from goldenrods to raise their larva. These specialist bees evolved with the plant which is essential for their existence.
💛💛💛
There are somewhere between 22 and 27 different goldenrods to chose from in Michigan.
Photo 1 - Solidago rugosa, Fireworks Goldenrod, Full Sun
2 - Solidago caesia, Bluestemmed Goldenrod, Full sun to full shade
3 - Solidago speciosa, Showy Goldenrod, Full sun to partial shade
4 - Solidago flexicaulis, Zig Zag goldenrod, Partial Shade to full shade
And no worries about the pollen, whch does not cause allergies. The pollen on goldenrod is very sticky. The culprit this time of year is dreaded Ragweed.

Dahlia parade. Finally!
🌸🌸🌸
Dahlia growers across the country experienced a different growing season in 2025. In some areas the extended high heat impacted the blooms. Here in the Midwest to the northeast, we experienced an extended cool down at the most inopportune time. With temperatures improving we are finally seeing blooms.
💜💜💜

Join Us in a Vision

Detroit Abloom is a cut flower farm and nonprofit organization. The revenue generated from our flowers and services allows us to provide part time work and to continue growing at the farm.

In 2015 we acquired 9 vacant lots from the Detroit land bank Authority, and since then, added 6 more lots to make a total of 15 in the middle of a residential neighborhood, the 200 block of Manistique and Ashland. In just 3 years, we (Nancy and Tom), with the help of friends and volunteers, turned the lots into an attractive urban oasis, learned how to grow over 100 varieties of flowering plants and developed a comprehensive floral service business. We see a big future in using cut flower farming as a viable way to turn vacant land (much of it blighted) into beautiful and productive landscapes. We also thrive to protect native species of pollinating insects and have partnered with bees in the D to turn Detroit Abloom into an educational center. This year we will start a native plant nursery and build a butterfly house to help the Monarch butterfly population. And we LOVE volunteers!
