High Mowing Organic Seeds - Heads up quickly into tidy little red cabbages perfect for smaller portions.
Performed well in our trials, with very nice color and early maturity. Compact habit; can be densely planted at 8" spacing with Farao F1 and Famosa F1 for an earlier harvest and knock-out market display. Great for northern climates and small spaces.
Characteristics:
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.
