Tundra F1 is a fabulous winter cabbage with one of the longest harvest periods—stretching from November right through to March. This Savoy type has beautiful crinkled, dark green leaves and dense, tasty heads that hold well in cold weather.
It’s also suitable for close spacing, making it a great option for smaller gardens.
SOW: seed depth 10mm, from mid-April to July, either in modules, pots, or a seed bed. For staggered harvests, sow in batches.
GROW: Transplant when large enough to handle, about 5/6 weeks after sowing. You can grow closely spaced for smaller heads, or give more room if you want larger ones. Tundra is hardy and stands well through frost, making it a great choice for the hungry gap.
ENJOY: strong flavour, great cooked. Ideal for hearty winter meals, steaming, or shredding into soups and stews.
RECIPE IDEA – A Winter Treat
Finely shred Tundra and fry it up with chopped bacon for something a bit naughty—but very nice! Of course, you can also boil or steam it. Or try braising with lean bacon and a few raisins, then serve it as a delicious base under baked fish. Yum!
