Let's hope the neighbours like cabbage. Amateur gardener Jimmy Hill is promising to share his crop with them and, judging by this picture, there's a lot to go round.

Mr Hill, 53, has grown a row of the monster vegetables, the biggest of which is 5ft across and will weigh 80lb when it's ready to cut.

Mechanic Mr Hill also grows onions, carrots and cucumbers in the rear garden of his home in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset.

It is not his first bumper crop and in previous years he and wife Jackie, 51, have run out of ideas about how to eat them.

'I like them and my wife is a wonderful cook but I have to admit there are only so many ways you can cook them, so I reckon we'll give them away to neighbours.

'People say I should enter shows but for me it's just a hobby.'

It's pretty amusing, you have to admit that any plant in ideal conditions can keep growing (trees are a good example) Though 5 ft cabbage.
Ideal to fool a dim witted he got in the garden of the giant from the beanstalk story :P

Red cabbage is better, but any cabbage is good cabbage...As long as there aren't any bugs in it.

Where I work we barely find any non prepared cabbage, what you find more is the sauerkraut version.
