My Final Post (Maybe): My Cabbage Feast

Hi everybody!  The time has come to feast!  On the menu is CABBAGE!  We invited my family and friends over for the big event.  From the cabbage my dad made coleslaw and my mom made egg rolls.  
Here is a picture of the coleslaw.


Here is a picture of the egg rolls.


We also had bbq pulled pork sandwiches, watermelon, chips, dip, veggies, my Gramma E's baked beans, pasta salad, and a yummy refreshing limeade.  We also had ice cream and my Grammy's hot fudge.  It was DELICIOUS! 
Here is picture of our meal.


Here are some other pics of my big night.


Thanks to everyone who read my blog. This will be my final post...unless I win the 1,000 dollar scholarship. 

Until (maybe) a next time cabbage fans!

My Cabbage Week 12 (Really 13), "Watiring thi Cabbige"

Late again BUT.... This should be week 12, but it's really week thirteen. The cabbage is still forming inside the center. It has not come out yet. BOO HOO!!! :( I can't wait for it to come out! I wish it would hurry up though. An ALMOST fourth grader doesn't have that much patience. When it gets hot, my cabbage gets kinda wilted. When it does, my 3 year old brother says, "I need to watir thi cabbige." It's so adorable. 
Here is a picture of him "Watiring thi Cabbige". 

 
Here is a picture of my growing cabbage head. It is about the size of a baby watermelon.

My Cabbage Week 11, The Eeensy, Weensy Cabbage Head.

Sorry I am late posting again this week. BUT... This is week 11. This week (more like the last few days) was VERY exciting. My cabbage is finally forming! The leaves are curling around the center and the center is becoming hard. Here is a little song that I wrote about my cabbage.

My Cabbage Week 10, Better Late than Never

This is week ten. Sorry I'm so late. Better late than never I guess. My cabbage has grown a little bit this week. It hasn't gotten much bigger, but it has still grown. Actually, the leaves are kind of getting curved, and when I water it, the leaves hold the water instead of absorbing it. Now, some of the leaves are bigger then BOTH of my hands. BREAKING NEWS: My cabbage is not yet fully a cabbage. 
( The center is not yet in cabbage form, hopefully that will happen in the next two weeks. ) Here is a picture of my cabbage week ten. 

 
Here is a picture of me with my cabbage. 


 I hope you like the next two posts, because it should be full grown by then. 
 
Until next week cabbage fans!

My Cabbage Week 9, Lillian Ladybug

This is week nine. This week was Amazing! On Monday, I went to my friend's house. Her parents let us paint rock pet with craft paint. 
I painted a ladybug on a medium-sized rock. I decided to call her Lillian Ladybug. When I got home, I placed Lillian on some fallen leaves and rose petals. Then I set her next to my cabbage. It looked nice there. 
Here is a picture of Lillian Ladybug. 



Over the Weekend, I went to the Mt. Pleasant Camperworld, Pleasant Creek Ranch. I had lots of fun there! (Even though most of the time it was cold, rainy, windy, or even SNOWING.)While we were there, we came across a beautiful large orange butterfly.  I have never seen a butterfly that big before.  Here is a picture of it.


 When I got home I went to see if my cabbage had survived the weekend weather, to my surprise... 
MY CABBAGE WAS HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Most of the leaves were bigger than my hand! I can't believe that I have been able to grow this cabbage this big, since I've never grown anything else before. 
This is a picture of my hand on one of my cabbage leaf. 


 This is a picture of my cabbage week 9.

My Cabbage Week 8, The Adam's Cabbage Leaves

 This is week 8. This week my cabbage has grown A TON. One of the leaves has reached the cement. This cabbage will grow to be HUGE. My Aunt Heather came to town this week. My Mom, Grammy, Aunt, and me thought of a song about the cabbage. I call it, "The Adams Cabbage Leaves." If you would like sing it, it is to tune of "The Addams Family." Here it goes!

Anyway, the leaves are getting HUGE! One of the leaves is bigger than my hand! I still have 2 of the the original leaves, but the poor little things are suffering. They are cracked and bugs have chewed right through one. My mom says just to leave them, so I will.
Here is a picture of me with my cabbage.
