@JWK Actually - it's the one brassica I have grown successfully! I had a few a couple of years back: a mate went to a wedding where weirdly every...
Uh huh: competitive gardening eh? Sounds a bit like the atrocity of competitive fly fishing! :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:OK - I'll give it a go...
Me too. My mum had a great recipe with red cabbage baked in the oven with sultanas and balsamic: I recently cooked it for the first time in 30...
Ah - fantastic. I want to grow some red cabbages: just didn't know when to be planting. I'll get going! Thanks very much.
