A very warm welcome Fish, may i just say i think we will all be glad you have found the forum as well, looking at that photo.
Hope you enjoy it on here, as it can be a really good laugh, and very helpful to say the least.

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.

Dear Fish, i'm glad they were cabbages, i was dreading you saying they were brussels, and making us all feel utterly useless.
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

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.
