[Snadger]

" Ooooh those sweetheart cabbages you got from Tescos are nice" ses she, last year. " I'll grow some of those next year then ses I"

Caramba F1 pointy cabbage duly sown and grown!

How the chuff am I going to eat 18 cabbages in a week??????

Remembered now why I never grow F1's if I can avoid it!

That's the problem with F1 Snadger. All ready the same week ! Bit more successional growing next year maybe ?

[lynda66]

well, i just figured that i might get one or two plants ........ i never expected the whole flipping lot to germinate lol ...... well at least i've managed to talk darling son into letting me dig up the front lawn lol

I avoid like the plague anything that says on the packet "Suitable for freezing". If THAT isn't a clue that they all come at once, I don't know what is. I work on the principle that F1s are for the benefit of a) the supplier who makes a HUGE profit from them and b) the farmer who want to pick everything on the same day.

Sick of cabbage yet?
