Default What veg are good to grow over Winter

I am growing leeks but have failed with cabbages.

Any ideas?


We grow...
Brussels Sprouts ("Trafalgar, Icarus, Topline")
Savoy cabbage
Winter cabbage ("Winter Tundra")
Cauliflowers ("Winter Walcheren Armardo April" or similar)
Broccoli
Kale
Leeks
Parsnips

The Cabbage family are the staple winter veg so why can't you grow them?
Have you checked the pH of your soil?
They like it over pH7, plenty of food in the soil and the soil firm
(especially Sprouts).
