Red cabbage, white cabbage

Crop of white and red cabbages at different stages of maturity, with hosepipe.

Chiètres, Fribourg canton, Switzerland, late June.

"The challange to the vegetable farmer is to guarantee continuity of supply. Every ten days he plants a new stage in his assortment of salads and cabbages... and every week he harvests in order to supply the regional markets. This is as regular as clockwork, whatever the weather!"

René Steiner, agronomist and vegetable crop advisor, Anet, Berne canton, Switzerland.
