my kale are absolutely infested with whitefly since i planted them out, its come from nowhere, never had any before, now whenever i walk by its like a cloud. My question is, if i rinse them all off, can i still eat the kale, will the winter frosts kill them off in the end anyway, and one more question about kale, not the whitefly, do i pinch the tops out to make them grow bushy?, they are getting taller and the stems longer as I keep taking leaves from the bottom (for the rabbits at the moment, i havent the stomach to eat it myself because of the whitefly).
