cabbage patch
Brassica growing area
A cabbage patch is a garden plot where cabbages grow.
The phrase gained cultural prominence through Cabbage Patch Kids, dolls marketed in the 1980s with the fiction that they were "born" in a cabbage patch—a whimsical update of the old euphemism that babies come from cabbage patches.
We found her in the cabbage patch was a way to deflect children's questions about birth.
