All of the hard work of planting a garden is starting to pay off. I picked my first cabbage today which weighed about 5 lbs. It made about 7 pts of freezer slaw. I have before and after pics.

Lakngulf, here is S. Indiana, we have about a 2 month period of "springlike" temps, then all of a sudden, we get 90+ degree days with little rain, and high humidity. We have to hit it right to grow good cabbage and broccoli in the spring. I have better luck in the fall. I use BT to help control the bugs eating the cabbage and broccoli. BT usually does a pretty good job. I plant a short season cabbage, 55-70 days or so. The longer maturing cabbage just doesn't do as good for me because of our weather. If you can get cabbage plants, or grow your own, and plant so they mature before your freezing temps hit, then you should give it a try.
