    I've got too much cabbage

    So if anyone local wants some ..or cauliflower or peas .............you can pick up a t-shirt whilst you're here Tomatoes will be ready next week
    Just showing off really ...first time I've tried any thing like this and it's all gone very well The whole lot was overgrown when we moved in but all it took was a little hard graft.

    Re: I've got too much cabbage

    Aw, gutted for you mate.

    First time I'm growing this year aswell and cant imagine if I lost all that.

    I planted late tbh but something tells me I should have done something different with my tomatoes as they are taking over the world, ok maybe just a small part of my garden.....

    I got corn growing and quite chuffed with my chillis
