| I so wanted this to work for us, but it just does not. I'm not sure it is the fault of the cabbage - our soil is poor, our weather is hot and dry, and the bugs are unrelenting. However, we have managed to get other cabbages to produce much better than this one - I figure we have a 50-50 chance of getting any kind of head from each plant. When it does happen, it sure does not happen in under 60 days. |
