That cabbage just cries out for some good beef stock, a few other
goodies, resulting in big bowls of shchi. Cabbage soup, one of the
quintessential signs of Fall. -aem

Cabbage is easy to grow. That was far from the largest. Here are the
rest from nearly a month ago, they are truly monster cabbages now:

Great pics, Sheldon, thanks for posting
How much land are you on?
I'd like to eventually get out of the city, at least to northern CA, if not
back home to MN. Your pics make me miss MN and Wisconsin a lot

I have 16 acres here where I live, more than enough to keep me plenty
busy. I have another parcel down the road, 91 acres I rent out to a
hay farmer. Now is the time to buy your land (never too soon), if you
are serious do not put it off. Buy rich flat boring farm land, no
rocky mountain sides... leave the useless recreational land for the
pinheads who have more dollars than brain cells... three years later
they will lose their land but your arable land will always be
productive, profitable, and remain yours forever.

Just put some seeds in the dirt, they grow. Notice I don't do fancy,
old cardboard keeps the weeds at bay, hunks o' tree limbs keep the
wind from wreaking havoc. Cabbage grows well into frosty temps. Once
the first hard frost occurs I'll pick them all and tuck them into the
basement fridge, they'll keep well for 2 months. I'll give a few away
but I find dishes to make with cabbage, none gets wasted.

Don't move here if you're not ready to irrigate all summer long. It does
not rain here in the summer.

And don't move here if you don't like winter fog for weeks on end with no
glimpse of the sun, or illegal immigrants, or fires that taint the summer
skies with dense smoke for months until it rains in October or November. Or
$4 gas, no state budget months after the deadline, and legislators wanting
to raise the sales tax to 8 1/4% and state withholding tax by 10%.

Oregon is a better bet all around. I'm heading there myself. Let the
illegals have California - they practically do already.

Nice haul. That is one big cabbage. Is that Jilly curled up in the bed
behind the table?
