Hello and welcome Fish; what an amazing pair of cabbages! How do you stop them getting scoffed by all the bugs and grubs? 8)

Hi Fish,

They are first class Cabbages what variety/type are they, As I can see from the cups you must have picked a few reds cards for your efforts well done.

Kind Regards

Hello Fish and welcome !
Those cabbages are indecent! Were you feeding them on Guinness ?? I now feel like climbing down my wormhole and never appearing again to grow vegetables. Seriously, they are magnificent. We will look forward to seeing photos or more of your efforts.

Welcome, fish! I hope you have a big family or did you invite all the neighbours for a bubble and squeak party?

Dear Fish, i'm glad they were cabbages, i was dreading you saying they were brussels, and making us all feel utterly useless. :shock: :) :wink:

Let's all hope that Fish doesn't ever get into growing pumpkins!. We'll all have to emigrate to leave enough land growing room for his vegetables. But it certainly proves the worth of well-rotted chicken manure. My red cabbages ended up the size of tennis balls.

Hello Fish

They're a couple of good firm ones you have there. Puts mine to shame :twisted:
