Huge FAIL in the cabbage patch

The cabbages I planted in the winter (read about it here) all bolted to seed.
I've decided to cut my losses and pivot to a small tomato patch, maybe some cucumbers too.



I crushed most of the cabbage down



Threw on a layer of grass clippings.


Then a layer of leaves.


And finally a huge pile of mulch. 


I'm not expecting this lot to disappear into the soil, but the pile keeps the birds out, and gives me somewhere to store part of a huge mulch windfall I scored.
I'll scrape off the pile mid-December and start planting it out.
