vfr400boy 3,572 Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 Smaller the better I cook mine in a pressure cooker for 15mins skin them then quarter them pop um in jars put 2 table spoons of sugar and a pinch of salt on them half fill with white vinegar and top up with water , not sure if it's the [BANNED TEXT] way to do it but it works for me Ps make sure your jars are clean 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,400 Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Get some seed in now and you should get 13/14 weeks growing. Make sure you keep them moist for the next couple of weeks. I also just put another row of peas which are racing on. Cabbage seed won't let down. I'm doing Durham Early, and of course radish and lettuce will still do well.
