The first of the years crop is ready. After planting 12 cabbages in my new raised beds, 11 of them bolted (that means flowered and started to produce seeds, rendering them bitter and tough) and therefore had to be composted, we did try a few 'spring greens' from the leaves, but they were a teensy bit tough. the one remaining cabbage has hearted up over the last few days and has been harvested to make way for a follow-up crop of Leeks. The picture shows the potential prize winning cabbage held aloft by "She who must be obeyed" - I sometimes refer to her as "the first wife" just to keep her on her toes!
