Cabbage Tendersweet F1

Tendersweet F1 is a gorgeous salad cabbage, crunchy yet tender so the thin leaves are perfect for making coleslaw or using as a wrap.  This variety can be harvested in the spring, summer or autumn – very tasty and adaptable they can also be lightly cooked so ideal for stir fry too.  Price for 20 seeds

Harvest when the heads are plumb and firm about 10 weeks or so from sowing: the heads will split if left in the garden too long making this variety best sown in batches so that the heads are ready at different times.  Splitting can be caused by rapid new growth if rain or heavy watering follows a dry spell – a little bit every day or so is always better.

In the summer heat they will prefer a part-shaded place to grow.
