Sprouts to sticks
  • When it comes to organizing holidays there are excuses for vegetation: high-mountain forests, tropical forests, botanical gardens, some garden, cherry blossoming... The truth is that it's everywhere and they take you where you go, no matter what you've learned. However, if with this year’s holiday period you have doubts and are unable to develop, I propose the Atlantic: Channel Islands.

Clubs made with Jacquelyn and Philip Johnson logs on the island of Jersey. They're the only authors today, but a century ago, some 30,000 clubs of cabbage were exported every year.

Those islands are a curious place. They are subjects of the Queen of England, but they are not part of the United Kingdom, nor of the European Union. They have a special history, and the presence between England and Normandy has conditioned the evolution and culture of the natives. The weather is very harsh, and that has forced life: they are real cabbages. They look like another end, Galicia, to which the winds of the Atlantic are strongly attacking, and the leash that binds them in the yoke is cabbage. A special cabbage: Brassica oleracea var. longata. Like the Galician, he doesn't have a head and he eats it from sheet to sheet. The foliage has been given to cattle, especially cattle and herds. It is called “Jaldre de coles” and “Jaldre de coles” in Basque. As the leaves are torn apart, the extreme outbreaks become new, stretching and stretching. It will progressively explain the ever-longer crumbling trunk. Thermometers have been located around six meters high. Yes, yes, six meters! This cabbage stem has been used in the manufacture of clubs. In autumn it is cut, dried correctly and a beautiful wood is obtained. They are then planed and given varnish or wax to polish their hand. A century ago, about 30,000 clubs of cabbage were exported a year ago. Today, they're just done in a house, Jacquelyn and Philip Johnson. If you do not want to visit them during the holidays, for just over 60 euros they send you home. Or, what’s better, buy the seeds they sell (50 units, 4 euros) and create the cabbage stems for the sticks. Well, where cabbage, cabbage stem, cabbage stem, cabbage handle, cabbage biker, cabbage leg, cabbage mantle, cabbage spice, cabbage stems, cabbage trunk, cabbage trout or cabbage trout will grow... And that is that Euskaldunes are an Atlantic culture ...
