Cape Horn is a fabulous pointed cabbage: the crisp & firm smooth leaved heads are very well flavoured. This is an AGM winning variety, quality through and through for harvesting in the summer and autumn.
SOW & GROW: seed depth 10mm, start off in in modules or pots and, when large enough to handle, harden off and plant out at about 40cm apart. Sow in succession from Feb to April (transplanting after 6-8 weeks) and your harvest could reach from July to mid-October.
RECIPE IDEA
Why not try mild curried cabbage – serve as a side or main dish. Create a masala style sauce – fry 1tbs asafoetida (or 3 garlic cloves), 1 tbs black mustard seeds turn heat low and stir in 1 small pot nat yogurt, 1tbs ground cumin, 1 tsp turmeric and 1 tbs ground coriander and 1-2tbs water and salt to season. Cook on medium for 5 mins, add cabbage chopped into finger size pieces, reduce the heat and cook for 5 more minutes before serving
