Cabbage growing wild
I've spotted several cabbage plants growing in the garden! Wonderful,
but I didn't plant them! We had a bird seed spillage earlier in the year - didn't see anything that sounded cabbagey on the list though. Although I don't know what dari is! -- http://www.orderonlinepickupinstore.co.uk Ah fetch it yourself if you can't wait for delivery http://www.freedeliveryuk.co.uk http://www.holidayunder100.co.uk |

I did toy earlier in the year with buying a huge sack of it and covering the field at the back in it, and just seeing what grew./ Probably only ever so slightly naughty though. :) -- http://www.orderonlinepickupinstore.co.uk Ah fetch it yourself if you can't wait for delivery http://www.freedeliveryuk.co.uk http://www.holidayunder100.co.uk |

Used to be a very common plant on landfill sites. -- Cheers Dave. |

I've seen a variety of some cabbage growing wild on the south coast of England. It looked strange seeing it growing there, somehow out of place growing on the beach. It must have a high salt tollerance. -- David in Normandy. To e-mail you must include the password FROG on the subject line, or it will be automatically deleted by a filter and not reach my inbox. |

No good for roach though. Doesn't even taste wonderful. Mary |
