This morning I got the old cauliflower and broccoli plants removed in what will be Pea Bed #2. Because of good leaf mulch there are few weeds in there, mostly some henbit so it will be a quick forking job.
Then I went to dig out the cabbage plants. They're developing little mini cabbages from growth points around where the original head was cut. ![]() ![]() Already there are several baby cabbages forming. ![]() I think I'll call them cabbagettes. ![]() |

I have harvested some of those in good years in the past. They're a real nice bonus!

We often get them from our spring cabbages. They will get about softball size, maybe. We call them "Granny" heads because the little old ladies at the markets love that "1 person, 1 meal" size. Depending on how big they get we sell them for 4- $1, 3 -$1, 2 -$1.
