While watering everything today I had a good look and saw that so many leaves -- even after having chopped the plants down dramatically the other day -- have leaves, and lo and behold most of those leaves had a caterpillar (some wrapped up in a small cocoon or whatever). I only saw small caterpillars so hopefully they're all recent appearances only from when the plants started to touch the tulle. But for sure next year I will try the row cover instead of tulle.
I tried removing all affected leaves so that when I see more holes I'll know they're new... though I didn't get all of the northern leaves.
