sugar loaf cabbage?

| g'day,
my sugar loaf cabbages are getting to picking size but they are all loose packed or sort of empty and light. my watering regime has been more this year than last year and we have had more rain that last year. the ones last year were smaller but tight and heavy for their size. they have been in since about the end of march into april there sometime. the plants look good and healthy.
i'm thinking maybe this winter has been too mild by this time last year we had, had 8 frost days this season only 2 in the autumn. as i said earlier they have been given more water than last year.

| Yes you are right there Len, I looked up last years diary to find that the second week in June the temperature's ranged from 4-20, yesterday it was 16-25 so I would say a lot milder even here in Brissie. But thats nothing to what it was like in Melbourne last week when I was there they recorded the highest temperature for a June day ever. Maybe I took our beautiful weather down with me ......MM. |

Hi there Mistymorn
At the moment (being this period of history) we are suffering what has dubbed..."Global Warming"
Here in Tasmania we have just completed the driest consecutive 12 months period in the history of (white)man ...and who knows maybe all man
Sorry to ruin your day but it is not your fault...relax no-one is going to blame you for the high temperatures...or at least not all of it
PS Have you just gone back home ...it is raining here now
cheers

| Yes Iam home got back last Friday, did I hear the word rain, are you joking Peter I dont know what it looks like anymore, hummmm I remember it used to be wet as someone said on the news recently, """ It has to rain one day""" I wonder which day and in what year. We got no summer rain this year which puts paid to the so called ""Wet Season"" Brisbane used to have, it was 18 degrees low overnight much too warm for June and they say it will rain tomorrow, well we will see, just for once I would like them to be right!!!!.......MM. |
