[@erikabisset3876]

I am planning on watching these as I plant each vegetable in my garden this year hoping we have a good turn out thanks again for being so clear and taking everything step by step.

[@simplifygardening]

Best of luck Erika i will have new videos each week so stay tuned

[@LindaPenney]

[@simplifygardening]

Thanks Linda appreciate your support as always :)

[@50shadesofgreen]

[@moirakemp867]

I love this episode, thanx. Can`t wait to see those monsters growing! great week end to you

[@simplifygardening]

Lets hope they get like last years :)

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

Hello Tony, I am going to use split pipes with all my Giant veg next time, hopefully it will make it easier less root disturbance, did my Giant Carrots this way and it works surprisingly well. Trying a Giant heavy Red ,but I am a long way behind. Thankyou for sharing this. 🌱Happy Gardening my friend, Terry.

[@simplifygardening]

Split pipes are good for root veg like carrot parsnip and celery to start with but cabbage would out grow it very quickly mate

[@MattsPlotAllotmentchannel]

Great Video Tony, looking forward to seeing how big they grow.

[@simplifygardening]

Thanks Matt. Atm they not looking too good I am hoping they will pick up, but only time will tell. This year I am very disapointed with them

[@ChristophersMum]

You were battling the elements there Tony! I wish you all success.

[@simplifygardening]

Yes the weather didnt help at time of planting I can tell ya

[@1stBumbleBeeMaster]

Tony is absolutely right about Brassicas not like being rocked, If you have brussel sprouts and they are loose in the ground they will hardly form any sprouts up the stem.Some growers have blamed the variety for poor yield when in fact its because they are loose. Being loose also stunts the growth in Cauliflower,Brocoli as well. So keep ground around base firm and check after strong winds etc

[@simplifygardening]

Yeah you can apply to much pressure with these guys for sure

[@allotmental.]

Great looking cabbage 👍

[@simplifygardening]

Cheers man, lets hope it stays this way lol

[@citylotgardening6171]

Great video what is that variety of cabbage if you don't mind me asking and do you sell those seeds 👍

[@racheltomlinson2257]

Lol, funny watching that cling film, it's a really good idea.good luck on getting heavy weight champions.

[@simplifygardening]

Thanks Rachel lets see how they go. They didnt like being transplanted so far. they are sulking a bit

[@MuddyBootz]

I like the idea of the cling film wrap...ideal also for protecting sweetcorn and young bean plants 😀👍. A nice soil mixture with plenty of Nitrogen. Good Luck......keep us posted. Any shows in particular you looking to enter........or you just want to beat Dave Thomas 😀😀😀👍

[@simplifygardening]

Dave Thomas is the king of cabbage matey. But something to aim for. Im not sure im going to any shows this year due to going away near Malvern autumn show im not sure I will have the time or inclination tbh. It will all depend on how things look closer to the time.

[@chrispugh2715]

cabbage looking realy good Tony , ours are gtowing nice just for our table tho , good use of them bed heads brilliant.

[@simplifygardening]

Thanks Chris. Lets hope things get going finally

[@yorkshiremix6877]

good luck tony fingers crossed for you

[@simplifygardening]

Cheers Don, but its a long time to keep them crossed. relax lol

[@stevendowden2579]

cracking video

[@simplifygardening]

Thanks Steven. Lets hope they grow lol

[@lizzieatherfold2293]

Good episode thanks

[@simplifygardening]

Thanks Lizzie :)

[@meehan302]

Great looking Giant Cabbage ,Tony I never tried growing any yet

[@simplifygardening]

Have a go Patrick. ill sort you out a couple seed for next year if you wanna try

[@thelittlefarmersfarm5706]

Good luck with this monster Tony.... Some dirty old man told me to throw Fish heads into the hole before you plant them on, but I don't know if this is a good or a bad idea mate... I recon you would need to put some fairly substantial caging around it if you did the fish heads on our site to keep the bloody cats away!!! Good video as ever mate... Look out for tonight's EP on the Little farm as I have a new toy... Cheers Pal. ;-)

[@simplifygardening]

yes fish is a great fertiliser

[@sunriseseven4366]

Good luck. :)

[@simplifygardening]

Thanks. Keep your eyes peeled in a few months for the results :)

[@jameswinstone7478]

It going to be my first year at growing a giant cabbage not to sure when to sow seeds need your help please jim

[@hotpepper7782]

wish you all luck with those and what do you call those bed rails?

[@simplifygardening]

They are the headers and footers of normal steel framed beds

[@paul-ne1bh]

hello toe, can u tell me the best time to plant january king cabbage many thanks paul

[@simplifygardening]

Sow any time now. Plant out in sept or october then let them grow over winter

[@paul-ne1bh]

that was fast many thanks top gardener tony

[@simplifygardening]

was online lol

[@1stBumbleBeeMaster]

Top Notch Video, That first one with the big root system will be a monster! When its harvest time I will bring a JCB to lift it haha Have you ever seen them Russian Giant Cabbages? I am not sure if some of them are photo shopped though. I have some Medwyns Giant seeds that I got for Christmas but I was told to wait until November to sow them, Its like waiting decades haha They are supposed to get to 124lbs I doubt I will achieve that though. lol

[@simplifygardening]

Yeah sow them in November and keep them ticking over until spring and get them out. These will do ok but should have been out long ago

[@raymondmurray9139]

Would potato fertilizer be good for brassicas ?

[@simplifygardening]

No Raymond too much potasium u need more nitrogen

[@raymondmurray9139]

UK Here We Grow OK , thanks for the reply

[@mathewgreen9663]

Hi Tony, what weight was your biggest cabbage here?

[@simplifygardening]

76.8lbs Matthew

[@mathewgreen9663]

Simplify Gardening NICE! Have you got any sown ready for this year?

[@briansgardenandpolytunnel8172]

I tried growing a giant cabbage years ago when I first got my plot. unfortunately it was a pure failure. I found out the hard way about how much club root was in the soil and how hungry the local pigeons were. lol..............brian

[@simplifygardening]

well there are other ways but get the lime in the soil and be golden. covers help with pigeons

[@vmcshannon]

Oh my goodness! Mine is only 2 inches tall!

[@simplifygardening]

This isnt for eating Vi dont worry yours will grow lol

[@vmcshannon]

UK Here We Grow ❤️ thanks
