Winter Wednesdays - A Heart in Winter
Or rather no heart in winter... Cabbages are a first for me this season, and I am unsure of their hearting habits...
This one doesn't seem to actually have one.

Ali, where are my bananas..?
looks like perfect cabbage to me..they do,do a lotof outer leaf growth then one day you walk by and see this little heart beating away and you think ah i'm doing good
Patience is the key. If it wants to heart-up it will do. Nothing you can do will make it change its mind! If all else fails, you can just eat the leaves as Spring Greens.
they look great Ali! they will heart up in no time.. what is your secret to beating the cabbage moths ... they hammered my winter crop :-(
Ah yes patience... not my middle name... so okay... thumbs are twiddling... Suzanne I posted them WEEKS ago... I can't imagine what may have happened to them??! :D
I use the outer leaves in stock so if worst comes to worst.....actually mine haven't hearted either - perhaps an Australia wide heartlessness????
I can't grow cabbage! The caterpillars get them all! I think your cabbage looks wonderful even if it has a tiny heart! The leaves are the important things anyway...right!
Oh no secrets here Ally, I must have just been lucky and am only sighting the cabbage moths around now... actually make that really very lucky!
Liz, are we a heartless nation?
Mrs Bok, I am not sure! Do we eat the outer leaves??? I've really got no idea. Actually yes I do, if I grow it, I eat the whole blooming thing!
I'm not the biggest green thumb but I think patience is the key in gardening! Must feel so good to grow your own food ..
I managed to harvest one superb cabbage last year, all the others gotten eaten by the moths, as did the broccoli and cauliflowers. I don't know if there's secret, I'd just wait and see what happens - and there lies my gardening philosophy. Good luck.
