Pot worms are white, very thin and 1/4 to 1 inch long. They are the larva of a flying insect.

I hoop over them with flexible poly conduit. Ends cut at sharp angles to stab into the ground, fabric secured over the tunnel.

If we plant brassicas in the late summer/early fall for early winter harvest, are there fewer pests?

Though what I tend to notice looks the same in squiggle and size but is usually darker and dried. I have always considered it bug/worm poop. I would guess that yours is fresh while what I tend to notice is dried.

And this was due to pest pressure? I had cabbage worms on the broccoli late last season, but nothing so early and certainly not so varied! I will keep the shade cloth in mind. Thanks for the input; I hope I don't have to resort to that, but it's on the list.
Gardening can sure get expensive! Of course, I'm astonished every single time I buy food, so spending some more on the garden shouldn't be a bad idea.
