Red Cabbage

Some more of the plot has been dug over, couch grass removed and lime applied in readiness for planting. The soil has been firmed down, but may still prove a bit too 'loose' for the brassicase we intend to plant, but we will see what happens !

Two rows of 'Red Drumhead' have been planted and each plant has had a collar applied to, hopefully, prevent Cabbage Root Fly infestation. The collars were cut from plastic dpc into 4" squares and two collars were applied to each plant to ensure that no gaps were left for the little critters to crawl down.
