Cabbage piockers in Tarleton, Lancashire, UK. Harvesting cabbages from soggy fields where the weather has caused havoc with the quantity and quality of winter crops. There are concerns that large quantities of harvested produce will not meet supermarket standards and will have to be thrown away. Conditions have been blamed on climate change and the El Nino phenomenon.
Winter cabbages form an important part of the winter supply of fresh greens. They are hardy enough to take most of what the winter weather may throw at them. The Savoy cabbages are considered to be the hardiest of all of the winter cabbages and they are a good choice for growing on poor soils. Like most of the other winter vegetables the winter cabbages require a long growing season and have to be sown in the late spring and early summer.
