Silly me, Cabbages are so beautiful, I watch them as they bloom their perfect symmetries.

Nice photo, and they are beautiful in the plantings around TV.

Cabbage sounds ugly, but they are beautiful.

Me, too. Those cabbages never fail to make me smile.

And, yes, I am one of those Villagers who just loves the plantings we see all around us. I am not trying to be cantankerous. But I must confess that when people want to %#*&@ about those beautiful flower beds, I just get all up in arms and want to write a cantankerous post about how even if you don't like the flowers, stop and think about how those beautiful beds are adding to the value of your house. -- But, oh well, I am not one to be cantankerous, much.

Back to cabbages, now. . .

So anyway, I love those ornamental cabbages. And now, I am going to do a little segue into information on the great-great-grandmother of those cute little things. -- The regular cabbage.

For those of you who are desperately looking for something to read here this morning, I give you a link to a page of cabbage lore and trivia. (Imagine my chagrin when I saw there that I missed World Cabbage Day which was February 17th.)

Here's the link to more than you ever wanted to know about cabbage. (Did you know Babe Ruth put a cabbage leaf under his hat?) -- Just think what a hit you can be at the next party.

You're welcome,
Laurie Clavin

I don't think that homeowners overlook ornimental cabbages at all.
The crux of the matter is that they are expensive.
