I thinned the rows for Spring greens and when I harvested each head I cut a cross in the remaining stem which allowed  four more cabbages to grow.
I have recently sown some more Spring cabbage and this will give me as much cabbage as I can eat over a 12 month period without resorting to any other types.
Interesting tip re the stem VinnySmile Do you sow in modules or direct?
Sown in a seedbed to be transplanted, although they can be direct sown and use thinning's as greens. About 50mm high now so will transplant when about 150mm.  I will leave some in the seedbed to grow to maturity.

By cutting a cross in stem after harvesting large head you get smaller hearts which are more suited to a single meal for two.
