Decided it was time to pull it out. Did a final harvest of decent leaves and a few flowers.
My hypothesis is that making sure the plant doesn't touch the tulle, by harvesting leaves as well as flowers, worked to prevent cabbage butterfly worms, but the loss of the big leaves had a harmful effect. As I remember the plants being so much more productive last year, when I allowed them to push up into the tulle by not harvesting any leaves.
So, I'm not sure I'd really do anything differently in future, short of maybe trying to find a way to have a higher / wider tulle enclosure so that I wouldn't have to remove so many big leaves.
