Cabbage Tundra
Have been cutting cabbage for about two weeks now.
The cabbage is firm good looking and without blemishes. When preparing the cabbage much of the inside is home for slugs snails and woodlice. These of course mean much waste, but, how do they get in as the leaves are firled tight. How can I avoid this next year. ..............................Leslie |

Thank you Robert
I will certainly try this - Cabbages I believe originate from salty areas, ......................Leslie "Robert" wrote in message ...

I've been growing Minicole (yes I know it's meant for autumn, but it's standing very well) and although there's a few slugs in the outer leaves, the inside is tightly packed and clean.
