These winter hardy cultivars of Brassica oleracea (cabbage) show the value of this plant as a year round food supply. For winter cabbages the seeds are sown in April/May and are transplanted in late June/July to the final growing site. Here winter hardy cabbages are ready for harvest and thriving in a vegetable garden in Orkney, Scotland.

Plant of the Day
Sunday 5 March 2023
With wider flowers than the single flowered species Galanthus nivalis f. pleniflorus 'Flore Pleno' (double snowdrop) is creating a display before the trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants produce leaves. This double flowered bulbous perennial forms clumps which can be divided as the flowers and foliage dieback to increase the plants coverage.

For about six months of the year the wildflower Potentilla erecta (tormentil) can be found flowering. This creeping perennial has thin wiry stems and the flowers appear through wild grasslands. Historically the roots of the plant were harvested for the leather Industry due to the high levels of tannins.
