My winter veg consists of three types of kale, Spring cabbage, chard, winter lettuces, leek, broccoli spring onion and bits and pieces still holding on from the Summer.

| Cabbage January King - I think I finally got all the caterpillars picked off; now watching out for slugs. |
 |

| Chard 'White Silver 2' has been a staple diet for caterpillars all summer. |

| Amongst the Autumn leaves are a selection of late summer salad leaves 'Winter Blend' which are slow to grow but looking hopeful. |

We have begun to struggle with winter brassicas - we think it's down to club root!
ReplyDeleteI haven't got any this year. I didn't net & was bombarded with cabbage whites. looking forward to planning what winter veg to sow for next year though. Your cabbage looks fab.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea on planting on the winter. That's look so great, especially the curled kale. My brassica didn't do well on this end of the dry season until the early rainy season. Blight and caterpillar attack were the serious problem.
ReplyDeleteDespite the caterpillars you still have lots of cabbages. Watch the slugs, they like beetroots!
ReplyDeleteThe kale looks particularly fine. It was a bumper year for Cabbage White butterflies, wasn't it?
ReplyDeleteI wanted to grow winter veggies but missed the planting window completely. I love beets. Yours look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you did well for your winter garden!!
