Steve...

 

Wow..now thats what I call a harvest. Looks like all your hardwork is paying Steve.

 

Thats some haul......looks great!!

 

Very impressive

 

Nicely laid out Steve and looking really good, well done . What are you doing with all those cabbage ?

 

thats what makes gardening worthwhile .... well done!

loads of cabbages .... here's my fav recipe:

cut a cabbage in thin strips

place in a bowl, and add a lage onion that has been finely diced

in a bowl, mix 1 cup of extra virgin olive oil, juice of 1 fresh lemon, 1/2 a cup of modena vinegar, a heaped tablespoon of dijon french mustard, a bay leaf, salt and fresh ground pepper and a heaped tablespoon of dried oregano (crushed in the palm of your hand) ....

let this marinate stand for approx 2 hrs before pouring over the cabbage ... (so best to make this first)

pour the marinade over the raw cabbage/onion .... mix well and cover the bowl with clingwrap .... don't put in in the fridge .... every once in a while, give it a stir .... after approx 5 hrs, the marinade will have cooked/softened the cabbage ...

serve and put the left over in the fridge ...

 

Well thats making me hungry

 

what variety are the nice looking cabbage.

 

Cabbage is Golden Acre/Primo11 A summer/early Autumn variety, a nice crisp cabbage - Quality Vegetable Seeds through Suttons Seeds - Suttons Seeds and Plants

Hi, what pest control do you use to get cabbages as good as that at this time of year.

 

You can see what I use here Around the plot.. | The Nook.

Thats great, because after 30 years away from gardening I have just started 3 raised beds with fine mesh as my main defence.:yess::yess::yess:
