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.

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.

My Cabbage Week 7, Veggie Friends Tale

This is Week 7. Today is Mother's Day so I'm giving a shout out to my Mom, I love you MOMMY!!!!!! Okey Dokey, now back to my cabbage... My cabbage is WWWAAAAYYYYY to big for the waterwall. My Aunt's dad Roy gave me advice on how to harden out the cabbage, or make it so it's not so picky. He said to take it out of the waterwall one step at a time. So..... the next day we left the waterwall off all day and put it back on that night. A leaf broke off when we tried to put it back on. I'm not very happy about that because it was a good leaf. The following day we left the waterwall off ALL day & ALL night. The cabbage seemed to be doing good so it hasn't been on since. 

Here is a pic of me with my cabbage.

Back to the Mother's Day topic. My cabbage got some new plant friends this week. My Mom says it's like the cabbage is the mommy and the new plant sprouts are the babies. The plants that we got are some Mountain Spring tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, and some red cherry peppers. The reason we got the red cherry peppers is because I thought they were cherry tomatoes. We didn't realize until we had already paid for them. We are not sure what they will taste like, but we decided to keep them and see. We also planted a zucchini, but it's on the other side of the yard.

My Cabbage Week 6, Whether the Weather

This is week 6.  My cabbage is still doing very well in the waterwall.  I still need to keep it in there because of the crazy weather.  I like to think of this saying about the weather we have had called "Whether the Weather."

Whether the weather be fine
Or whether the weather be not
Whether the weather be cold
Or whether the weather be hot
We'll weather the weather
Whatever the weather
Whether we like it or not.

 The cabbage has grown quite big this week. It really has grown too big for the waterwall, but I am going to keep it on for a while. Here is picture of my cabbage in the waterwall. See how the leaves are pushing up the sides?

 Here is a picture of my cabbage outside the waterwall.  FREEDOM!! My mom and I are letting it have some sun outside the waterwall, but we will be putting it back on later today.  Hopefully it will Survive!

Here is a picture of me with my cabbage...(yes this is me, I got my hair cut) Do you like it, I do?!?!

My cabbage might be getting some new plant friends soon.  Maybe by my next post?!?!  We will have to see.  

Until next week cabbage fans!
