Default Cabbage n cauliflowers

How tall do cabbage n cauliflowers grow?I haven't grown them for 3years, and I'm blowed if I can remember I've netted my calebrese bed, but I don't remember the other brassicas growing so tall,and I don't want to have to sew another load of net together if I can get away with not doing so My cab n caul still under cloches at moment, but they will be trying to escape soon

Depends on the variety Lyndap. If they are normal sized jobsgive them about 2 ft of head room. Beware of pidgeons sitting on your nets as well & making them bow so they can get them leaves !
