Some growers use a sharp spade to slice straight down into the soil along a couple sides of the cabbage plant. This severs some of the plant's roots, slows the head's growth, and helps prevent the cabbages from splitting.

Just want to let you know how much I enjoy reading your logs since I discovered them a couple of days ago. I bookmarked your site and plan to visit it regularly. Although I am not a vegetable gardener nor am I a cook, I love vegetables and someday hope to grow them myself. For now I just tend to my many houseplants and sometimes have some herbs growing inside and by my front door. Since I really know little about cooking, I just usually dream about the day when I can...hahaha. I discovered your site when I was researching about chickweed, which I had a lot of. I was telling my son that I think the weeds that I have are edible, but he won't let me try to eat them...bossy son. :) Your site assured me that they are indeed chickweeds and edible, so I have to wait for them to grow again, and I'll steam some. I had just pulled out A LOT of them just before I found your site :( Anyway, I can tell that you make a lot of people so happy with your website. Thank you very much. I am so hungry for some fresh vegetables after reading your log. Be happy and healthy. Sincerely, Aurora Hello, Kenny.
