Red cabbage experiment! - Veggie - 03-05-2024

[attachment=7517][attachment=7518][attachment=7519][attachment=7520]

A couple of weeks ago I acquired a shrink wrapped red cabbage - and forgot about it! Today I found it by the smell. Sick However, all is not lost, its still firm and edible - just a few outer leaves that had rotted.
In an effort to survive, the poor old cabbage has thrown out some shoots, and roots under the wrapping. I've cut the stump off and I'm going to plant it, in the hope that it will regrow. Poor thing deserves a chance of life after its efforts.

Brought back memories of when I tried to see if a Brussels sprout would grow roots and turn into a cabbage.
Spoiler Alert - it didn't and stank. Big Grin
