Compo 10,328 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 It's good to see the estimates rolling in. I have no idea how heavy it is but it seems to have stopped expanding and should remain at the same weight until it is cut. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fch782c 144 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 7lb 10 ounces Incidently the labeling on the can, is that "Not to be sold seperatley from the Cabbage" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackson 301 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Ooooooooooooh, I'd love to win that cabbage, bet there's a load of nutritious Iron in the Beautiful vegetable. I'll make a guess and say it weighs: 6lbs 12ounces. PS: Not bothered about the drink but would love to get my hands on such a healthy looking thing; let's see now, how would I cook it?: steamed mostly to retain its goodness and served with beef steak and creamed potatoes.

Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I am so pleased to see all the weights given are in old money. My contribution? 10LB 2oz. Although my wife says when I eat a cabbage it is pure cannibalism. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mudgie49 401 Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 9lb 1oz, including the can of coke. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackson 301 Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Compo, I expect your cabbage (on the top) will be Gargantuan by the end of the month! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Nice to see the outside leaves on a cabbage, something you never see here. Cauliflowers and cabbages are trimmed to within an inch of their lives! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted September 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 All pests have been eradicated. What you see is what you get. I don't think it has grown any more since the photo was taken. It will be cut soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
