Valentines Day has arrived and, for those still scratching their
heads, one farmer has come up with the ultimate unusual gift – bouquet
cabbages.

Grown in Boston, Lincolnshire by cabbage specialist TH Clements the new varieties offer something romantic and edible – an
imaginative step away from traditional flowers and chocolates.
Chris
Gedney, managing director of TH Clements, said: "We are always looking
to develop new and exciting varieties of products for our customers.
"After
a few trials it became clear that the flowering cabbages were going to
be a big hit, especially with the most romantic day of the year
approaching.
"When we introduced them into the pack house many of
the staff joked that we were turning into a florist as opposed to a
vegetable packers.
"We have even supplied them for a wedding, where the bride was looking for an innovative ʻsomething newʼ.
The products have since been nicknamed Cupids Cabbage by the staff at TH Clements.
Flowering cabbages are on sale nationwide for a limited time in selected retailers at 89p per cabbage.
