Cabbages Harvested in advance of Irene

Right now we are not forecast to have a lot of damaging wind but we are in for a tropical rain storm that will dump several inches of rain on us and a sudden glut of rain at this time of year will cause cabbages to swell up and burst open. You can still eat the cabbage but it has to be used immediately or it will spoil. Mine will be stored in the basement for a few weeks until cooler weather arrives then turned into sauerkraut.
