| Friday - January King Cabbage |
The weather over the last few days has been glorious giving me an opportunity to get outside and do a bit of tidying, pulling dead leaves off the cabbages, cutting back dead stems and a little bit of weeding. The cabbages with the lovely colours, are ready to eat, but they look far too nice to harvest. Sadly one will be picked on Sunday for lunch, but that is what they are there for, how can I get sentimental about a cabbage?
The difference in the weather is a shock to the system - mild and reasonably warm for most of the week - then the temperature dropped rapidly and heavy frosts prevail.

Spring isn't as near as we thought - it is still winter and who knows what is yet to come?
It's been the same here too - I love the colour of the top cabbage
ReplyDeleteTouche'
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about picking your crops, seems a shame somehow when they look so good. Especially if you're going to spoil a nice neat row.
ReplyDeleteWe've had our first proper frost this morning, though it's warmed up a little as the day's gone on. I love the colour of the January King cabbage.
ReplyDeleteMarvellous photos, Elaine! Just wish my cabbages had done that well...
ReplyDeletelovely cabbages - I know what you mean about harvesting them but it is so satisfying to eat your own grown veg
ReplyDeleteThat pinkish cabbage is beautiful! I would have had second thoughts about eating it, too. :o)
ReplyDeleteThe cabbage looks very pretty with a bit of frosty sparkle.
ReplyDeleteI walked round the allotments yesterday morning and saw some cabbages just like these! Flighty xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful purple cabbage, such lovely colour, reminds me of the ornamental cabbage! The frost covered cabbage make great photos! I think Winter is only coming now!
ReplyDeleteWhat glorious colours Elaine! I think that I would be reluctant to pick such a beauty. They are certainly deserving of the name 'January King'.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about being sentimental about yer veg! Just beautiful purple cabbages I would want to display it in a vase. Lovely frosty photos too. Don't miss my giveaway over at my blog x x
