68 days from transplants
Instructions -
Cabbages prefer well-drained fertile soil that is within the range of 6.0-7.5 pH. A general guideline is 2-3 lbs of 8-16-16 fertilizer over 100 sq ft of the garden area two weeks before planting. If boron is not present in your soils, consider adding 1 Tbs per 100 sq ft.
Direct sow when daytime soil temps warm to 75°F. Start seeds indoors or in cold frames 4-6 weeks before the planting date. The optimal soil temperature for germination is 75°F but seeds will germinate in soils as cool as 50°F.
Cabbage is mature when the tight outer leaf of the head begins to fold back on itself. Cut heads flat on the underside. Cabbage is best stored at 32°F, with high humidity and good air circulation.

This ancient vegetable was used throughout ancient Greece and Rome. Revered by the Grecians of early times as being sacred and commonly used medicinally by the Romans. Recognized for being exceedingly high in Vitamin C, Vitamin K, folic acid, potassium. This large cabbage keeps well, although flavor has a tendency to taper off with heat and is enhanced with cooler weather.
Has the capacity to be grown as a winter vegetable in warmer climates. Cabbage heads have a tendency to split if not harvested at the right time. A delicious vegetable shaved thin for sauerkraut, in salads or cooked in a stir-fry, steamed or in soup.
Instructions - Sow seed indoors ¼" deep 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Plant out just before the last frost. Take care not to disrupt the shallow root system while transplanting and weeding. Make sure cabbage has a regular supply of water. Mulching cabbage will reduce weeds and keep moderate temperatures and even moisture in the soil.
