I've got some like that Tim, and Tundra and reds, it's the spring cabbage which have grown into monsters that I'm worried about... sudden change no time to harden up...

That's actually Tundra, Dad. And our Red are doing fairly well, but got hit by 'pillars.

Nice looking cabbage Tim, if it had a red tint to it ,it would remind me of the variety January King which, I consider one of the most underrated cabbages.

Great looking cabbage, I'm gonna try some new varieties next year now I will have more room. I do love the spring cabbage though, My favourite cabbage is hispi. At the moment my spring cabbage is massive. The rabbits have been feeding off the outer leaves for ages. I just hope that the hearts don't get ruined.
