I have these Cabbages in the garden at work which I have grown in a ring of wire netting for protection, I think there are four plants the one you see being the biggest. I planted them such a long time ago that I can't even remember what they are but by the look of them I think they may be Savoy cabbages planted for last winter but were a bit late so never developed when they should but have done so now. The other interesting thing is that because of the wire netting around them they have grown on long stalks of about eighteen inches long presumably so they can escape the chicken wire around them. Until you examine it closely the four plants seem to be one plant with four cabbage heads which looks sort of unusual.

Its beautiful!
I keep trying cabbages but am close to giving up as they are so covered in bugs every year. Yours look wonderful.
Yes it is beautiful Sara, almost too good to eat!
Hi Doc, have you tried Enviromesh Extra Fine Netting. It's stronger than the fleece covering, it's more like net curtains if you know what they are. As long as you pin it to the ground well so that nothing can craw under it things are usually well protected but at the same time the rain and light can get through.
Thank you very much Rob I will go have a look for it in my local nursery.
