Here's the pickin's this week. First some lettuce. Temperatures have been mild so far and not many lettuce plants have bolted. I may even get some spring planted spinach next week unless there's a heat wave:
And a few days later some cole crops, including the first Gonzalez cabbage of the year:
The mild temperatures have made for nice brassicas, while the okra, eggplant and sweet potatoes have been slow to grow. Totals for the week: lettuce 25 oz, cabbage 22 oz, kohlrabi 24 oz. Totals for the year 20.8 lbs. Production is ramping up.

I have had that experience often, where a later started crop of brassicas will catch right up to the earlier planting. Makes succession planting all but impossible when that happens though. Your cabbages are indeed looking good. I only planted some napa cabbages (that are bolting) and Ruby Ball which is a late summer (large) red variety that I adore but is still many weeks away from having harvestable heads on them.
One of the good things about writing a blog is that you can compare the current year's performance with previous ones - for sowing / planting / harvesting dates etc.
