An increasingly popular nutritious vegetable. Delicious when eaten raw,
steamed, cooked or stir-fried. Easy to grow and productive in the home
garden. This variety grows well in cool climates with head size ranging
from small to large. Approximately 74 days to maturity.
The ideal site for cabbages is any well drained ground, but they prefer a
medium to light soil which will retain a reasonable amount of water.
Prepare the ground with manure, several months before sowing. If the
ground has not been manured, apply a general fertiliser before sowing.
Start seed indoors from early spring in pots, or sow directly into the
garden after danger of serious frost has passed. Cover seeds with 1/8
inch of fine soil.
Thin or transplant seedlings when 2 inches tall. Transplant indoor
started seedlings after hardening off and danger of serious frost has
passed. Space plants 18 to 24 inches apart in rows spaced 2 to 3 feet
apart depending upon available room.
