Jim,
the fly is active in 'June'? If you plant early the plants will be strong enough to resist an attack. Anyway, I puff around the base of each plant with 'Sybil' - HORROR - it's been banned by the European Thought Police.
If 'derris' is still allowed - use that. Good luck!

It is said that an inch of rhubarb in the bottom of the hole does the trick, never tried it tho.
When you wake up on a morning say "good morning world" and be grateful

A little washing up liquid mixed with water and then sprayed onto your  brassicas should do the trick.
