Our Feedback
Just to say thank you. The Heron protection electric fence is just great. Ordered Thursday, delivered Monday, finished installing on Wednesday, the pond was attacked Wednesday night I am not sure if it was a cat or heron but my prize fish is still cruising around. I knew the electric fence would work, as I thought I would improve the route to earth by adding an extra earth wire round the pond and back to the energizer, thinking it's not going to have much power I did not turn the mains off, the earth wire touched the live wires, and although I don’t have much hair, I believe what I have was styled into a punk hair do in an instant. Excellent piece of kit, along with excellent service and advice. (plus Hair styling optional extra for thick'os who don't respect electricity). Thanks again

Description

In time gone by this very tall growing variety was widely grown. The cabbage'forms on top of a single stem around 4 feet (1.2 metres) or taller.

The cabbage can, of course be eaten; but the main attarction was the long stem that can be cut, trimmed of leaves, dried and then made into walking sticks after being given a coat of varnish or stain. A knob for the handle and possibly a door stop as a ferrule completes your walking stick.

SO you really can grow your own walking sticks!

Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects if allowed to 'go over' and flower (so if you have room leave any plants in that have gone too far rather than pulling them out straight away).

  • Biennial.
  • Likes a sunny position (will tolerate some shade).
  • Prefers well-drained fertile soil.
  • Can be grown near the sea.
  • Can reach 10 feet (3 metres) high, though 4-5 feet (1.2-1.5 metres) is more normal.
  • Both flowers and leaves are edible.
  • Sow during spring.
  • Plant out 4 feet (1.2 metres) x 2½ feet (75 cm) apart.
  • Flowers May-August.
