Flatlander Jan 2022 4:18pm, 29 Jan 2022 2,350 posts	0 Flatlander I went out into my garden just after lunch to get a cabbage for this evening's dinner - and didn't come back in until 2 hours later!

Usually, they just about start 1st week Jan and should be well flowering by now, while I only have hesitant flowers, hence liberating them from leaves and dead foliage. But late cutting back thisvyear...
