I have never grown cabbage - I feel inspired to give it a go seeing your photos. <br />I have grown broccoli in the past and was delighted to find that if I cut off the head and left the plant that new little "flowers" came out and tasted delicious.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04615563913854946465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-70837101013479087992011-10-01T19:01:21.239+01:002011-10-01T19:01:21.239+01:00Isn't it wonderful learning something new?

I was told that if you ...Your meal sounded lovely! I was told that if you cut the cabbage off carefully and left the stump in the ground then babies would grow around the edge of the stump so you get a second much smaller harvest. Since there is only the two of us now, staggering the harvest seems a good idea because otherwise there is too much at one time for us to get through when it is still in fresh condition.<br /><br />The Simple Green Coop had a recipe for coleslaw that was brilliant. They said that they had been told that it kept for 6 weeks. We made a big batch and it kept for more than 3 weeks before it started going a bit too "cabbagey" smelling, if you know what I mean. They chopped finely the cabbage, onion, carrot, pepper and whatever else they wanted. The dressing was one part veg/olive oil to one part sugar or honey to one part cider vinegar - all brought to the boil, stirring all the time, then poured over the cabbage mixture.<br /><br />http://simple-green-frugal-co-op.blogspot.com/search?q=coleslaw<br /><br />We'd only ever made coleslaw before with a mayonnaise/yoghurt dressing as my husband doesn't like vinaigrette but this was a lovely version. And I like being able to make a bigger batch and have it keep a while.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16855403299773356566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-1627497731631155422011-09-30T10:33:43.979+01:002011-09-30T10:33:43.979+01:00aww bless.

Last night at the comedy eve they served up creamy mash potato with spring onion & savoy cabbage mashed in then popped in the oven to get a crispy topping... heavenly !<br /><br />I used to work in a school for speech impaired children & we took the children to a dig your own farm. It was around the time that "Cabbage patch dolls" were popular. One ( stupid ) supply teacher told the children that babies were born in cabage patches !!!BadPennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09889591351222591488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-61491882000594543912011-09-30T09:43:07.973+01:002011-09-30T09:43:07.973+01:00Do you think this is a first, perhaps you have put...Do you think this is a first, perhaps you have put so much care into growing them they decided to reward you.Susan Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08256333437509563721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-1664013407376039732011-09-30T09:36:06.719+01:002011-09-30T09:36:06.719+01:00Coleslaw...yum...and with Kohlrabi!
