stupid cabbage mistake!
« on: June 13, 2009, 17:11 »
Sowed minicole and smantha savoy.....and put the labels (yes both of them DOH) in the seed tray. So so stupid. :mad:

They've both come up and one seed tray has a distinct red tinge to the seedling leaves..........so is this the minicole or the savoy? Anyone got any ideas please as i wanted more of the savoy really :)

I just bought some Minicole from the nursery as plugs with 4-6 little leaves  - the lowest leaves have a  red/purple tinged.  hope this helps - unless my local guy has just sold me some mislabelled savoys that he got in kent.   :tongue2: 

Actually I thought the plugs were good value at 99p for 8 as thats all I need and cheaper than a packet of seed.
trying to be green except when blue

Yes, the minicole were the ones we thought and yes they are great little cabbages :)

Perfect size for me as i'm on my own..........They don't last a fortnight like the Tundra I grew last year, these were also lovely but were huge :ohmy:

You should worry.
My Brussels Sprouts - planted out with plenty of room turned out to be Savoy Cabbages which grew as big as round dining tables.

Yes I know they look different........I kept thinking they didn't look right!

One of them lasts us a week.
