Cabbage Frost Damage

Hey Everyone! I’ve been growing Greyhound cabbage for a spring crop, and it’s gone great but it appears it has some frost damage after a recent cold spell. It’s under a row cover but part of the cover got blown off the hoop and I didn’t even know about it! Anyways, the wind chill dropped us to 5 degrees that morning and we were below freezing all that night and didn’t go above freezing all the next day or night. It’s still alive however. Some of the cabbage had ice on the leaves but all seems fine. Do you think this will hurt the cabbage or should it recover fine being alive? Thanks

Hi Jacob, in most cases they will grow away in the early spring, as they grow from the heart which is the most protected part of the plant.
