CABBAGE PLANTS
Winter Care After each frost re-firm cabbage plants which have been lifted and loosened. When the roots are displaced you can be sure that their absorptive powers are impaired. Light monthly dressings of weathered soot will keep the crops post-free, warm the soil, and prove an excellent winter fertilizer. If recently-planted spring cabbages were not planted in shallow drills, there is danger of cold ground winds striking at and damaging the still tender stems. The preventive is to draw up a 3in. high ridge of soil on either side of the rows to act. as a slight windbreak.
