Two Cabbage Odd-Balls

Two of about 3 dozen cabbage plants grew defectively.

This cabbage sent up a seed head without ever producing a head. Less than a week ago I could see the tine round buds poking thru the cabbage heads and knew that it was prematurely going to seed. In less than a week it put up this seed stalk. It needs to be pulled soon, it is of no value except to the bees.

This cabbage has a deformed second head. I suppose I should pull the second smaller head and hope the main head keeps growing.
