Bought in 10 Duncan Spring Cabbage plants - planted 13/10/06.

The 2 that remain are going nowhere fast!!

Didn't do well with my cabbages either, have given them up as a lost cause! :(

Once the weather gets a bit better they might spring back to life...

Looked at mine yesterday, they looked just the same. What have they been doing all winter. They had better get a move on or they're OUT.
Isn't it disappointing?

Mine were looking like that, but a couple of weeks ago I gave them some blood fish and bone, and they are starting to grow again - don't lose heart Tim!

Leaping from cabbage to leeks, there was a message recently complaining about leeks remaining tiny all winter, with which I agreed. But the very leeks I was complaining about have fattened up quite a lot recently.

That means that they look less like a complete mistake, and more like carefully planned leeks delayed for spring use.....

Well, still looking green, so reckon there's still life.  Patience, my friend... ;)
