Ok I had a go at growing these this year, as I've not really tried before. I think I know why now, they need a lot of attention to get going, lots of netting and protection from slugs and pigeons. I'm not the most diligent gardener at the best of times, obviously this year more so due to having a baby, but I feel sorry for my slightly pathetic attempt! My red drumhead cabbages are riddled with holes, from slugs or caterpillars I know not, but I'm hoping they may recover a bit in the colder weather. This one is the best one on the plot and actually has a recognisable head to it.
The red bulls blood sprouts look great on one side of the plot but very poor on the opposite bed, strange as the latter had more attention earlier on.
Actually I have one success, the white sprouting broccoli is growing great guns, strange to think such a monster came from such a small seed.
I think next time I'll be staking these to make sure they don't get blown down by any storms
