I decided to attempt re-growing store-bought cabbage, below is the progress.. What will come of it? scroll down to find out đ
Enjoy,
Grace-yi

Day 1: Chopped off the top bit of the cabbage to use and put the bottom bit on a plate with a bit of water.

Day 4: Slow progress but still alive.

Day 5: A little bit of roots have developed

Day 9: Changed to a jar of water so as to not to squash the roots.
more foliage is visible.

Day 10: Once more roots have grown, I decided to plant it in soil on the kitchen window still and more foliage has grown

Day 15: So excited there is visible new baby leaf growth!

Day 16: The baby leaf is growing.

Day 17: Surprised at how fast the baby leaves are growing

Day 19: Growing still..

Day 20: Growing still..

Day 21: and growing

Day 22: Wow.. very visible growth has taken place

Day 23: baby leaves have been going strong and now there is more baby leaves growing^^
Really excited to see more growth instead of it dying at this stage of the experiment đ Success?

Day 24: Looking very healthy.. Baby leaves are growing bigger and bigger and more baby leaves are emerging.

Day 30: Left it for 6 days and the leaves have grown out of the pot =p

Day 31: BIG day for my little cabbage plant.
Going to put it outside in the elements..

Day 34: 3 days later and it seems to not only survived but is thriving.

Day 36: Decided to plant it in the wicking bed

Day 44: 8 Days later and I am amazed at how well it’s grown!
The wicking bed is awesome! I don’t have to check on it as often as I did when it was in that tiny pot.
Noticed a few cabbage moth eggs so I have been manually squashing them till I can get an exclusion net going.

Day 46: Don’t see any visible growth but seems like it is getting more green.

Day 47: Can’t see any difference from these photos. Most prob there is baby leaves growing at the core.

Day 55: The cabbage plant looks thicker

Day 58: Looks like the leaves are growing bigger

Day 59: a different angle of the cabbage plant^^

Day 62: Growing slowly

Day 63: leaves are getting bigger..
Thinking of harvesting it soon

So since I last posted, life got too busy to harvest so I decided to let it keep growing..

Day 68: The cabbage plant is growing from strength to strength

day 70: beautiful dew on the leaves and it still growing

day 70: close up of the beautiful dew on the leaves

02/07/15
Day 79: It is looking bulkier

Day 80: Hmm.. i would have to say it’s a successful experiment.
I managed to harvest about 100g.
I did not have to buy the seeds and hardly had to do much to look after it. Will use an exclusion netting next time so I don’t have to worry about the pesky month eggs which i have been manually removing

Day 80: Hmm.. i would have to say it’s a successful experiment.
I managed to harvest about 100g and it looks like a small cabbage when put in a bowl =p
Dinner tonight.. nom nom nom.. What should I make with these precious 100 g of cabbage? Suggestions welcome in the comment section đ
We used to have a second crop like this that the market gardeners used to grow in the U.K they were then sold as Spring Greens a much sought after vegetable. The flavour which was between a Cabbage and Spinach delicious
