Hispi

I was just reading the "Advantage" blurb and it says this should be planted in July but I thought it could be sown early for spring cabbage. Give it a whirl Flo. She who dares ..... Very Happy

Hispi will be my cabbage of choice for January, easy to grow and cover up cos they're little pointy jobs. Full of flavour though and loved by none other than Rick Stein himself Very Happy

I sowed some last year - as per Wardy's rcommendation - and they were lovely.... The ones the slugs left me that is Rolling Eyes

I decided yet again this year not to grown brassicas specially seeing as I haven't got the hens to eat them Laughing

Then pootled off to the plot and was given some little baby spring cabbage Laughing
