Spring Hero Cabbage


Spring Hero

We put these lovely spring cabbages in today and just about had enough chicken wire (kindly donated by a friend) to keep out the pesky pigeons. This variety is called 'Spring Hero', an F1 Hybrid and I'm looking forward to seeing how they do. 

I grew 'Greyhound' for the summer, a very nice pointed cabbage but I should have begun cutting them earlier than I did, the later ones split because they were in the ground too long. The winter cabbages, 'Kilaxy', are hearting-up nicely now and taste delicious both steamed and raw in coleslaw.
