Timing is key!
- August sow, transplant October (when 10-15cm tall), crop in April
- Sow earlier in June or July, transplant in august/September, pick Jan/Feb/Mar… these are often smaller cabbages but they will stand and can be picked over a number of weeks
Start seeds 10-15mm deep using modules or pots OR in a well-prepared seed bed. When large enough to handle (about 10-15cm tall), harden off and plant out about 35-45cm apart. Protect if the weather turns bad after transplanting but once settled are fine on their own.
As a change from boiling or steaming try tearing your cabbage up into a baking dish, drizzle with olive oil, season with herbs or salt & pepper, cover with foil & bake (200C) for 20 minutes, stir in a dash of balsamic vinegar & then bake uncovered for about 20 minutes more – simply delicious.
