I like a good cabbage now and again, but I prefer looser-leaved brassicas: kale, pak choi, etc. This year I'm going to be trying out fast-growing broccolinis such as kailaan and cima di rapa, as a) we love stir-fries and b) I'm impatient!
I've experienced cabbage overload in the past and there's nothing worse than watching your cherished cabbages split and bolt because you can't face eating another cabbage.
So my "Grow Sufficient List" so far is 2/3 bags of onion sets and 52 cabbages.
How much veg and wildlife can I pack into a 6m x 8m garden in suburban Cambridge? Let’s find out!
