Yeah, you might be right but I haven't fed the cabs with lime. Also they
will be on the way out now, planted them for colour to be truthful, great
lilac coloured leaves, however they will eventually end up as coleslaw!
Thanks for your post.

The only reason I could think not to (not that I know much) is that
cabbages like lots of nitrogen, whereas if you give tomatoes too much
nitrogen they don't produce many fruit (putting all their effort into
growing leaves instead). There is also something at the back of my
mind about cabbages liking soil to have more limestone than tomatoes
like ....
