We found one brocoli plant turned limp with the leaves still green. We found ants active nearby. We wondered if there was some connection. The rest of the brocoli plants look fine. We looked up organic ways to deal with ants and we read that ants will eat flea and fly larva. So the book suggested herding them. Thanks!

Pull up the limp broccolli and look to see if there are little white
wormy things amongst the roots. If so you have cabbage root worm.
