I have two heads of cabbage growing, they are pretty small yet, and my grandpa told me to pull off some of the bigger leaves on the outside to help the cabbage put its energy into forming a bigger head. Does anyone know if this actually works? He told me its like taking the suckers off our tomato plants, but I don't see how it can work because, the way I see it, those leaves do photosynthesis and make MORE energy for the plant to put towards the head of cabbage, right? So I guess my question is, to pull or not to pull? : )

Thanks,

Holly
