Winter cabbages and caulis now
We are a bit fed up, our winter cabbages Tundra and late winter cauliflowers
are ready now whilst the beans are still producing. I see lots going onto the compost heap as they won't last as they do in winter, and then next winter there won't be anything other than sprouts. Anyone else found their winter veg has rushed to maturity this year? -- Regards Bob Hobden Posting to this Newsgroup from the W.of London. UK |

Anyone else found their winter veg has rushed to maturity this year? Yes, to a certain extent. The curly Kale, both green and purple, is ready to eat, but as it is still growing well, I'm hoping that if I pick a few leaves each week, it will keep up the good work until winter really arrives! (We did have an overnight temp down to 4șC the other week) Cabbages are begining to heart up, but not ready yet. Sprouts are laging, only about 18" high, with just a few little sprouts begining to show. Purple Sprouting Brocoli is growing away like mad (bigger now that it usually is in the spring), but as yet, no sign of any sprouting! Took a drive down to West Dean Garden today and noticed their winter cabbages were also ready now. Strange. -- Regards. Bob Hobden. Posted to this Newsgroup from the W of London, UK |
