Six plants were selected from the seed bed and grown-on in the brassica cage to protect them from pigeons and the caterpillars of cabbage white butterflies.

Today we harvested the heads from five plants and we are expecting further crops as the plant starts producing side-shoots.

The variety is 'Belstar F1' which was chosen for it's ability to crop throughout the Summer.
