Part of our naturally nurtured seed range with seed from an organic source
SOW: from February to May (early sowings need protection). Start in modules, seed depth 10-15mm, and transplant when they have 2 sets of true leaves.
GROW: use cloches to protect your transplants whilst they settle in. Space these at 30-35cm apart for full size heads or, for mini cabbages for early picking, you can space them as close as 15cm. An early sowing for mini veg can be cut in April/May, full size heads can be harvested through into August
EAT: simply thinly slice & steam for 8 minutes & enjoy a delicious portion with all the flavour, goodness & colour that you could wish for from home-grown veg
