On Friday my wife called me asking what did I order from Bonnie Plants because we have UPS delivering us something, to which I responded nothing. I told her the only thing it could be was that my daughter did the Cabbage project and we turned it in. Later in carline she calls me and says well apparently she's won, for all of Tennessee. I was suspicious and wanted to see the delivery. Later that day she got the delivery and it was a certificate saying she did win. The cabbage was small but she put in allot of work. Her winnings was money and she'll get her pic out there. I'm proud of her for sticking with it. Made some good Cole slaw.

Congrats to her! Gardening is fun and very rewarding! I raised commercial cabbage for a few years as a teen. Sold it for cold slaw. I will never forget .11 cents per pound was my best, .04 cents per pound was the least I would take before I fed it to the hogs. We averaged 120,000 pounds a year.

That's a lot of cabbage and a great teaching point I will use. I really appreciate you sharing that.

A lady I worked with had a daughter in 4H who raised some sort of livestock every year and entered them into the state fair. Chickens, rabbits, sheep, goats...lots of critters. Through auction of said critters, she's cut into a bunch of her college tuition.

a co-worker's daughter planted a 3 acre field of okra every year. paid for her college. ive no idea why okra sells for so much a pound. itll pretty much grow anywhere and grows extra fast once it starts flowering.

it was always a battle for me to keep the cabbage worms off them unless i powdered the crap out them with sevin.

i might try them again next spring under row covers and maybe use BT and neem oil if i have to.

i used to help my grandmother with her garden and making kraut and do not remember cabbage worms being really bad like they are now.

or give them a go next fall.

Cabbage worms are the larve of those white moths / butterflies we all see flirting around and the little bastages must lay eggs every time they touch down. We learned to dust with sevin after every rain. We also had a very good population of barn swallows all around and they seemed to help with flying insects back then
