identification of leaves
 

I have sown cabbage, (Primo) and Brussel Sprouts, (Peer Gynt)
Unfortunately I forgot to label them. They are growing well but I
don't know which is which, how can I tell?

If I remember rightly then the sprouts have rounder leaves than the
cabbage.

And will grow as a stalk, not round like cabbage.

IIRC the leaves look pretty similar...I would plant them alternately,
then, as you will use the cabbage first, that leaves room for the
Sprouts...you won't be harvesting _them_ until after the first frosts,
will you?

What a good idea, I must try to remember that.

I'm full of good ideas, darlink! ;-)


Thanks everyone, I will take Anne's advice, if I can't identify them
and plant alternatively. Quite right, the sprouts will need frost
before we can eat them.

right!!!
