A relative has just come back from Jersey and given me some seeds
marked
Jersey giant cabbage. Apparently they make walking sticks out of the
stalks.
Unfortunately the pamphlet that came with them has been lost.

Anyone grown them? Do I just grow like normal cabbage?


TIA
Steve

Steve,

Give it a go, although you may think that it is not worth bothering when
you see the end product on this site.
