Should be O.K. with Spring Cabbage. Tell them "If it don't go in the basket, it don't get washed". Good Luck with both

I need to plant up some of my empty containrs, before the local cats use them for porta loo's, or I need to wake up my dog, so he will get off his sleepy butt, and go bark at them!

Default turnips in toy boxes

whilst sorting out the kids bedrooms over the weekend i came across some empty plastic toy boxes so instesd of leaving them empty i put loads of drainage holes in them and planted some turnip, they're great, nice and brightly coloured and have carrying handles on the sides, and they are nice and deep will do for spuds next year, they also fit lovely at the side of the shed as they have flat sides. REDUCE (the ammount of toys in kids rooms) re-use (the toy boxes) RECYCLED!!!
