TWO CROPS OF CABBAGES INSTEAD OF ONE
When you cut a cabbage, do not uproot the stump, unless you wish to plant something else in Its place. If the stump is green and full of sap, it will soon produce a few clusters of small crisp leaves resembling Brussels sprouts. These are useful for culinary purposes. Instead of cutting off the whole head of a cauliflower, leave a part on, the size of a gooseberry, and all the leaves. Second and even third heads will be formed, and may be eaten for two or three months. If, however, you cut the heads completely off, the plot of cauliflowers is soon exhausted.
Now is the time for planting seeds and seedlings of cabbage and cauliflower. Seeds of carrot and parsnip sown now will be ready for digging in the spring; the same applies to peas and white onion.
