There ya go!

Ground temp in Seattle this year never got up very much, so my garden was weak.

But I still have lots of onions and lettuce. Cabbage too. The cold weather crops.

Cabbage is another superstar. Lots of antioxidants, and can be used alot of different ways when you cook.

Not to mention I think it would take a gallon of Roundup and a flamethrower to kill a cabbage plant!

Da! My wife is Ukrainian and we eat virtually no processed foods in our home. As such, I have learned that cabbage is practically indestructible and there are about 1,000 ways that in can be prepared. Prior to marrying her, I don't think I had ever bought a head of cabbage in my life. Now it is a staple.

I retired a couple of years ago. My job kept me away from home quite a bit (domestic and foreign travel) so a garden would never have survived! This was my first attempt ... and it was very satisfying. Next spring will see my efforts expand!

I even did some home canning with the jalapenos and green tomatoes! Nothing I have ever bought in a store tastes as good on a cracker with a bit of cheddar cheese and a cold beer! And I have enough to make it last till spring, the beer on the other hand could be a problem!
