The great cabbage experiment is proceeding in a rather satisfactory manner. In the space of six days my cores have grown rather spectacularly. The single crowing point has grown from this...
To this...
While the five pointed core had gone from this...
To This...
The 3 days following planting outside were graced with mostly sun, but occasional rain, which no doubt contributed to the plants general happiness. I'm guessing that they've about quadrupled in size... they've rooted pretty solidly, and are so firm in the ground that the cores... stems... trunks... whatever you wanna call them are so firm it would take a shovel to get them out. There also is a chance that they'll bolt to bloom in the heat. That's all right... cabbage blooms can be interestimg to see...
Anyway, there we are...
This is ultra cool!!!! Who woulda thunk??? Not me. I will like to see your cabbage blooms too!!!
ReplyDeleteThere are a great many veggies (bok choy, lettuce, celery, etc) that can supposedly be resprouted and grown like this. If time have a garden why not get a few extra leaves for free? Its not really any trouble stand them in water on a windowsill till they root then poke them in the dirt later. It's actually kinda fascinating
