Title: Every Now and Then
Post by: davyw1 on July 16, 2008, 12:16:02
A cabbage like this comes along which you know is far to big but you don,t want to pull it because that challenge arises to see just how big you can get it. Then when you get it to a large size you think what the dickens am i going to do with it.
