They look strong for now and are beginning to put out female flowers which I hand pollinate. I just see one plant in particular is slammed and theyâve spread onto others now too.
I just want pumpkins :â(

The time I grew cabbages, they took a heap of space and water and werenât that big. Then I saw them for $3ea at the grocers. Iâve never grown cabbages since.

I bought zucchinis from a fruit shop and I know for certain they were grown in someoneâs backyard.

My cabbages tend to split. Never bother with onions or plain carrots, only the colourful ones. The effort to cost ratio isnât worth it. Grow what you like thatâs harder to get hold of.
