Doesn't this cabbage look superb, its our first one this year!
Only if you're a gardener would you appreciate what a feat this is. A cabbage takes a while to grow from a seed and then there is the threat of the cabbage butterfly, so that's why ours are protected with an environ-mesh to keep the pesky things off.
In the evening we sat in the garden and admired our hard work, and listened to the birds.
Do you enjoy growing your own food?

I have taken up gardening in retirement and loving it! At mealtimes, my poor husband has to endure a litany of "these ingredients are homegrown todayń radishes, lettuces, mint, potatoes..." the discovery of blzckflon the broadbeans was distressing though
ReplyDeleteI have missed growing and canning and eating my own veggie for the past 11 years. We moved into an area in the country where the deer herds are huge and they eat everything. I'd need 8 foot tall fencing and we just decided to leave it be. I am envious of that lovely cabbage.
ReplyDeleteI do understand the woes of the cabbage butterfly. We had our broccoli carefully covered by the butterflies got in anyway!
ReplyDeleteOur plants and seed aren’t long in. Love that garden produce. Well done you two!
ReplyDeleteFood picked from your own garden is the best!
ReplyDeleteGrowing your own produce can be hard work but so rewarding. A meal that has partly come from your own garden-delicious.
ReplyDeleteI'm well away from harvesting any home grown produce and I just discovered I have lost one of my cucumber plants. A sneaky little critter I suspect!
ReplyDeleteThat is an interesting cabbage? What variety is it? We cut ours yesterday, so today I am putting it up. We grow Stonehead, and this year I am trying Savoy again.
ReplyDeleteNothing like growing your own. You two have done well!
