Mine are 3-4 feet tall but am not seeing any little cabbage heads in the leaf axils yet.
When should they be showing? I'm afraid these screen cages I made are too small.
But- there is no cabbage worm damage at all this year. (so far- I add quickly lest the fall cometh after the pride. ;D )
i aint sure when to take the leaves off i have the little heads starting but its the first time i have grown then lol :-\
not expecting any sprouts on ours, yet..the plants are a good size though ;D
We put some in this year that harvest a little earlier so they have small buds in the leaf axils
Planted my little baby's, first week in may. The little buds r coming out now, and there nice and tight. This is my first year with sprout' s i hope i get a good crop as they r one of my fave green veg :D
A lot depends upon variety i.e. early, mid season or late season types.
I would have expected early-mid season varieties to be showing signs about now, the late varieties might be some time yet.
Generally as the lower leaves become chlorotic (paling/yellowing) the sprouts begin to form. These leaves eventually fall off to allow maximum light to the newly forming sprout!
