cabbages
The cabbage heads are forming nicely for all the four. I touch them with my hand, and I wish to confirm that the heads are really building. From now on, no new leaves will be visible because the growth of new leaf will be inside the head itself. I am expecting the head to get bigger and the lower leaves to get older and turn yellow. For a first timer with cabbages, I am expecting too much and too soon. But I really have to say this.

Hi,bangchik.
ReplyDeleteI farmed cabbeges through the last winter and harvested then this march.My family loves to eat cabbage-salad.
Your cabbages looks so beautiful that they must be good-taste and I believe you are looking forward to eating them.
I recommend that you watch bugs(green caterpillar) creeping between cabbage leaves.They also love to eat cabbages.
I love cabbage and its so good for you - my grandad used to grow drills of them - as children we had great fun picking off all the cabbage white caterpillars.
ReplyDeletetakaeko ~ Thanks, I hope they come out well and taste good. Thanks for the reminder about caterpillars....
ReplyDeleteRosie@leavesnbloom ~ Now the tough part is coming.., when to cut off the cabbage heads. Leaving them too long will encourage caterpillars to come, eat and smear cabbages with poo.....

ReplyDeletePoetic Shutterbug ~ I hope they will get get bigger a little bit more before harvest... ~bangchik
