« on: January 13, 2012, 11:04 »
they are the sweetheart type (pointed cabbage)  planted them towards the end of July august (I think) it my second time with these again a failure or am I trying to harvest them to early
some people are like slinkys......they're really good for nothing, but they still bring a smile to your face as you push them down the stairs!!

There are many varieties of "sweetheart"  or hispi cabbage.

Specifically what variety are yours and more importantly, what did it say on the packet?
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Give me a sense of humor, Lord,
Give me the grace to see a joke,
To get some humour out of life,
And pass it on to other folk.
