hi guys

I have some cabbage in which was put in part of the plot before i got it, think its called hepsi?

I was wondering when I harvest it should I dig it out or slice the head off? a guy down the lottie said I should slice the head off and leave the stem and root in the ground and it will grow back the next year?

If you ccut the head off and leave a stump, then cut a cross in the stump you can get four little cabbages grow quite quickly

Oh no! I've had nearly all of mine now (and they were lovely) but i've been pulling them up, root and all. I didn't realise i could get more from them. Pants!!

Does this just work for hispi or all cabbage? mine are primo and should be ready soon

It's an accepted method for most cabbage.

Cut a cross in the stump and you'll get 4 new shoots. Don't expect full blown cabbage, but you should get some tender leaves.

I was going to cut my spring cabbage but we have so much cabbage and I need the space so wasn't worth it
