Eli's Cabbage

This is the cabbage Eli grew. It came home from school as a seed in a styrofoam cup some time in early June. It lived on the kitchen window sill until about mid July. Then Brian helped him plant it in the flower garden outside under the kitchen window. Eli was obsessed with water it and checking on it's progress. We found out later he was supposed to give a report on his "gardening" experience at the beginning of the next school year. So this is what it looked like right before Brian helped him cut it. Of course Eli wouldn't eat any of it, but Brian managed to sneak it into a few dinners and salads. :o)
