      If u buy any bagged dirt. Be careful because most of it now is just wood substrate. When i was younger, dirt was dirt but now its wood. Every bagged dirt that ive purchased was wood chips.

    Early Jersey Wakefield - yes #1 choice to grow. Bt= the only way to have cabbage family crops thrive. Also use Bt on corn silks to prevent corn worms.

    You and Tuck are doing a great job. I've had the best success with purple cabbage in NJ.
    I really like the hinged hoop house idea that you can change the cover and move it off the entire bed and just put it right back.
    Give Tuck scratches behind the ears for me.

    Because of you and Tuck I tried cabbage again this year. I grew the Early Jersey Wakefield. I'm in central coastal Jersey so I figured if you were so successful I could be too. I was! Huge, tight heads! Thank you both so much! I also put in my first apple trees, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries. You are so inspiring. I keep saying James is probably close, same style house, similar yard as me. If he can do it so can I. Finally ❤❤❤s for Tuck!

    I've never grown cabbage before. I never really like cabbage much, and I've always had trouble with groundhogs and my brassicas. Plus they are such a space hog. But my garden keeps expanding, my fence is somewhat more secure, and I've gotten into saurkraut this year, so I'm trying to grow some fall cabbages. I loved to see all of the different varieties you have.

I built a bed just for cabbage and broccoli in the spring. Except for the pest, it’s been great. I’m growing again for the autumn garden (less pests hopefully) because both brassicas are cold hardy.

    My growing zone is little different than yours but your energy is refreshing. I’ve watched many of your videos and you make me wanna grow something here in hot desert rocks. Yap. Been here in Las Vegas rock mountain for a year now. Oh and then they put decorative red granite rocks to cover the ugly white rocks. Currently making my own compost for the first time and it’s on and off. Sometimes it smells woody and other times it smells like poop. Too much water I believe. But I’m learning how to mend it. I probably have to build a garden bed on top of granite gravel. If you have any tips I would love your comments. Thanks

    This summer was a bust for vegetables, the weather was soooo uncooperative early on with torrential rain, excessive winds, cold nights, then thrown into heat waves one after another. The plants just didn't know what to do, so they shut down and waited for further instructions. I'll be lucky to harvest tomatoes by October for canning😞 So, on to what could be much more lucrative and almost guaranteed, cool weather crops. I'm attempting 2 cabbages and 4 Brussels, beets, turnips, carrots and kale.. If the weather stays warm I will harvest my summer crops...if it turns cool I will harvest my fall crops. I. Will. Prevail.👊👊👊
