My Tundra cabbage never seem to grow very big at the best of times.  My Primo are much bigger now,  than my tundra have ever grown.  I am trying Celtic and Winnistat as a savoy for a change this year ::) ::)

I don,t why i do it, every year i grow Tundra and they always seem to come big, but they hold well and a good flavor.  I am onto my last of my first crop of Winnistat, then it will be the minicle also trying one called Tarvoy.

I prefer the smaller ones as the family likes a meal, not a feast of them.
I grow them in a raised bed of an 8x3 feet.

Wow! They look healthy!  My first attempt last year got eaten by the catterpillars...I'm new to this game ....but this year I covered them and did better.  I bought twelve plants from Wyevale as my seedlings died  :( and they did well-ish.  Then the hearts started to go to seed whilst still quite small so only a little success really.

Am trying broccoli again this year as well but so far I just have big leaves!!!!
