They were planted in December and they are still very small. I think they are called Red Arrow. I'm not sure they're going to amount to anything.Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263430746482725687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-732676481099375924.post-89567920565258852022014-01-26T03:34:08.414-08:002014-01-26T03:34:08.414-08:00They all look healthy.My kales and psb got attacke...They all look healthy.My kales and psb got attacked by cabbage whites in the summer despite netting,but the uncovered chard stood up well (the caterpillars may have been boggled by the enormous quantity).<br />Brassicas then recovered but are looking rather straggly now.Possible too much manure which has produced long unstable stems ,or just maybe planted too close together? The mild weather means that the psb is sprouting much earlier so I might be pulling the plants up much sooner this year.David Shinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01349275095909121230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-732676481099375924.post-89625745922096241272014-01-25T09:54:32.653-08:002014-01-25T09:54:32.653-08:00You certainly won't need vitamin supplements.You certainly won't need vitamin supplements.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-732676481099375924.post-32607414659596386132014-01-24T18:54:10.167-08:002014-01-24T18:54:10.167-08:00You have so many wonderful brassicas. look so tend...You have so many wonderful brassicas. look so tender, so fresh.Endah Murniyatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16175364514530314348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-732676481099375924.post-51352957309801962892014-01-24T15:09:47.273-08:002014-01-24T15:09:47.273-08:00Your plants look good and healthy.

I do grow cabbages both red and green and broccoli, bit they get so infested with the cabbage worms I sometimes wonder if it is worth it. I will be looking into kale, though to see if we grow here.annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668006270534204954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-732676481099375924.post-53297351002193261172014-01-24T03:19:14.294-08:002014-01-24T03:19:14.294-08:00The Winter brassicas are usually pretty slow-growi...The Winter brassicas are usually pretty slow-growing, but it's worth the wait I think.
