A Crowd of Winter Cabbage


Winter Cabbage 
(photographed at dusk hence the rather dramatic effect)

It looks as though I planted my winter cabbages too close together. They were very small when they went in, and I measured the gaps between them pretty accurately, but now they seem to be elbowing each other out of the way. 

It's a double row and they are huge (or 'hooge' as we say in Suffolk).  They are also a bit mis-shapen because I kept them under a protective cloche for some time to keep the pigeons off and prevent butterflies laying eggs on the leaves.
