You mean to say you've actually been *able* to get into your cabbage

Joke apart, I can barely get into mine, not so much because of the
heavy wet ground, but because the consistent rain and relative heat of
August has caused a MASSIVE spurt of growth. Every plant has shot up
by at least 30 cm in every direction, I swear! The best evidence are
the sunflowers, although my Gunnera is now rattling my bedroom window
and howling "Feed meeee!!".
Anyhoo, I'm going to have to take a machete to the whole thing soon.
Harvesting the runner beans practically requires organising a tropical
