| Cabbage Patch |
Granted, I'm not much of a vegetable gardener, but aren't we supposed to till before we plant?

| Head of Cabbage |
Apparently, we don't have to till the soil for certain vegetables. Just look at this nice head of cabbage! Some of you vegetable gardeners may already know of this type of gardening but I am personally amazed! If you've ever seen or planted a cabbage patch in the grass, I'd love to hear about it. Anyway, last week, I was on my way to the post office when I spotted this cabbage patch growing in the grass behind a produce market. I think this must be the market owner's personal garden. For some reason, I always thought we had to till and weed, etc. (all the unglamorous stuff). Anyway, I just had to go back to take a look today. By now, my husband was curious about this patch he'd been hearing about so off we went. Once at the cabbage patch, we got out to take a closer look, and discovered these cabbages are planted in buried five-gallon buckets (I guess the bottoms are totally cut out but I'm not sure). Maybe the gardener will share his cabbage patch wisdom the next time I stop by the market. :-)
