Another Year, Another Cabbage

This year I started the cabbages a month earlier than last year.  Seedlings went in the ground on February 5th.  I couldn’t find any red cabbage this year, so I just planted the standard green head cabbage. Last year’s green cabbage never formed a head in the center so I think those were just a leafy variety.  These should form a head ball on them…I wish the tags had been better labeled!   The image above was taken yesterday, March 12th after I put straw mulch in the plant beds, (last year I just mulched with extra peat moss).  The weather is warming up so they will probably start getting a lot bigger soon.  More photos later as they grow.

Live and Learn

These are getting bigger and bigger!  They are so pretty…who knew cabbage could be so attractive?  They have come a long way from the skinny little sprouts seen below. They still don’t have a compact head shape though… I am wondering if that will start to develop soon?

Something New

So far these seem to be doing ok, they are slowly getting larger.  I will have more photo’s soon.
