Cabbage Update

The cabbage on our farm has been, well, not really growing.  Which is fine, it is winter after all.  But it has been sitting there very patiently, waiting for the sun and warmer weather to help it keep growing along.

    1. Hi Tom, Great questions! Unfortunately I don’t have any answers for you yet because we are planning to harvest our first crop here this summer! I will keep you posted though when it comes time to harvest.
