The Big Green Basketball


This year our cabbage has done very well. On Saturday we picked a large head, (about 5 pounds), and had stuffed cabbage for our Sunday dinner with enough cabbage left over for a large corn beef and cabbage dinner later this week. We still have two more LARGER heads that are ready to be harvested, and these are the size of basketballs and would appear to be around 6 or 7 pounds. We also have five more cabbage plants that are in the mid-stage of being ready to harvest, (we are guessing around the first part of October). We have been enjoying our tomatoes, green peppers, onions, basil, Dave has had his hot peppers, and of course our zucchini.

I have re-planted our fall lettuce, onions, and carrots, so hopefully they will be ready to pick before the weather gets to harsh.

I so enjoy working in the garden, and wish we had a larger plot. We did manage to pressure can some tomatoes and peaches, so we will really enjoy them this winter.

  2. The stuffed cabbage was wonderful. Now I'm looking forward to the corned beef and cabbage. Maybe I will even get some pulled pork with cole slaw sandwiches, who knows. I just enjoy it all (although my belt is saying "enough!") ;-)
