     if you don't like turnips why would you grow cabbage?   
      
     bok choi may work if cabbage does not.   
      
     like the other poster said, cabbage worms can be a   
   real PITA, but you can cover the plants in a net and   
   keep them off that ways.   
      
     we grew cabbages once and they did well other than   
   the bugs that ate them all the time - even when i was   
   picking worms off every day and the wasps/hornets were   
   doing their patrols they were still not able to keep   
   up with the number of eggs being laid on them.  we   
   still did get a harvest but it wasn't worth it to us   
   and i've not grown them since.   
      
     Bt is a bacteria which is poisonous when ingested   
   by bugs.
