Cabbage

I'm trying to grow cabbage this year for probably the first time that I can remember. Like the broccoli, someone gave me the cabbage plants, so I'm not starting from seed, like I usually prefer to do. But again, they got a good brand, so I'm not afraid to grow them. They got me red and white cabbage plants, for variety. The red cabbage is sweeter and could be used in salads. The white is more for cooking. One type of white cabbage plant is even called 45-day cabbage, because it matures quickly from the time of planting. A long time ago, a friend made really delicious stuffed cabbage leaves. My grandmother used to cook cabbage year round, and hers was always good, too, just boiled and more plainly seasoned. I'm looking forward to harvesting and preparing fresh cabbage from my garden this year, without having to go to the grocery store for it.
