Hi All,
Not a "smoke" related Q, but I have, within the last several years, begun dabbling in gardening. This is my first attempt at cabbage! My tiny plot has 6 plants planted in mid-September from seedlings. From what I've read, they should have been ready to pick by Christmas, but they've never formed actual heads. The plants are quite large and very beautiful, yet they are mostly "just" leaves (oops - when I went to take my pic, I see 2 have heads finally forming).
Are they too crowded? Underfertiized? Can I chop them as-is and use them for Kimchi or slaw?
BTW, I'm in SETX. We've had one mild freeze back in late Nov that killed my Basil, but everything else is buzzing along pretty good. Except carrots - they have great looking, feathery tops with "baby finger" roots. Same with my 1st and only attempt at fennel a couple years ago, beautiful feathery tops and a root good only for composting.
