I have always believed that cabbages were for eating. They didn't belong in the front garden or in pots with other flowers. I have always thought that to be rather odd that people displayed them like petunias or something, until...
My mom went on put one in her pot...oh my! Now I don't suspect I'll won't be planting them any time soon but I must say I have a whole new appreciation for the whole ornamental cabbage thing!
