Re: preserving cabbage

Hey, I'm new to this list and I have received with interest so many responses
as to what
to do with my broccolli and gabbage after picking it from my backyard garden. I
usually
garden all year long . I am in San Antonio, Texas as the winters here are very
mild.
I want to thank all of you for helping me with various suggestions.If there is
anything I
can do for the group, I will. Right now, I have young beans, collards, and
squash in the
ground and looking at a temperature of 32 degrees tonight and tomarrow. (their
heads
are barely rising up.) Again, I'm grateful for your assistance.
