Talk about maximizing the use of space! I've been using that old camper, but one year my son took it and I really didn't have anything that would work.

How far apart do you space your cabbage plants? If you put them too close together that will limit their size. But on the bright side, a small uncut head of cabbage keeps a lot better than a chunk of a bigger one.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7681714301443584801.post-41044006711266978672013-07-29T11:36:08.558-07:002013-07-29T11:36:08.558-07:00Thank you David!

I definitely overplanted garlic this year and I'm not sure if I'll use all of that for seed, but they are the largest and healthiest of the bulbs so I set them aside. The red cabbage is about 8 pounds, but it is a total of about 20 plants! So not too much, but I'll take it.nutmeg gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06497061826533988682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7681714301443584801.post-56521197828257552232013-07-29T09:35:39.502-07:002013-07-29T09:35:39.502-07:00Wow!
