Title: smaller cabbages and cauliflowers
Post by: tomatoada on July 19, 2013, 20:00:43
I would like to grow the above.  Looking through seed catalogues I can't find ones which specify size.  Has anyone grown any?   My cauliflowers and cabbages are far too big for what I need.   Thanks for any replies.

With cabbages, you could try planting them a bit closer and picking them when they are at the size you want.

Have a look for a Cauli called Locris, you can plant them quite close and get mini cauli, as for cabbages the smallest i have ever grown is Greyhound again plant them closed together
