Ok, so I was going to plant a fall batch of broccoli...intil my MIL(motherinlaw) told me that she doesn't grow broccoli because it always gets tons of worms in it that you have to get out...is this true? (shudder...ewwwww)

Bt does wonders on cabbage worms and loopers. Without a pesticide of some sort ( Bt is certified organic) the worms are a major pest most everywhere.
