What a fantastic harvest. Do you freeze all those cabbages?  Nice size carrots as well.

Most of the cabbage we keep in the outside shed.. the red cabbage keep months but you have to remove a few outer leaves which go crispy! The white keep up to a month in the beer fridge! We cropped them because they were thinking of splitting (ie a few had in each row!)

These are nice sized carrots Lady Cosmos

Saddad, when you say compost do you mean commercial bought in stuff or your own? I'm struggling with carrots and this year the carrot fly well & truly struck ???
