Cabbages pulled out

Half a dozen of the cabbages - which are still barely more than seedlings - were pulled out overnight. I replanted them as best I could, but they may have been too damaged to survive. The culprits are almost certainly pigeons - they like brassicas, and there are now very few berries for them to eat. I will have to protect the cabbages with netting or they'll be eaten.

    Have you got beets in also? If so, I'll shoot you my recipe for borsch when they're picked!

    I was given some beetroot seeds for Christmas, so I'll get the recipe from you when they're grown. It's my favourite way to prepare them - I don't rate them much as a salad ingredient. :)

    Just let me know when you're ready for the recipe. I'm also a big fan of pickled beets, eaten cold straight from the jar.
