Notes on Cabbages and Cauliflowers:
These were purchased as a brassica collection from Dobies in the autumn of 2010.
The brassicas were planted out immediately on arrival on the 6th September 2010 and protected with butterfly netting mainly to keep off pigeons rather than butterflies
By the 21st September the plants were growing away well and we were expecting good things of them as in previous years.
This picture taken on 12th December and the crop still looked in reasonable condition.
The very cold winter eventually took its toll on the crop and we lost quite a few of the plants to the weather.
Our full harvest other than a helping of broccoli and a little kale is detailed in the harvesting table above.
