Organic Cabbage, Red Drumhead

Red Cabbage: Red Drumhead
Brassica oleracea var. capitata
Approx. 250-350 seeds per gram
Cabbage has been cultivated for hundreds of years. The headed cabbage with a dense, closely packed heart comes in many different varieties.
They can be sown at three distinct times of the year so we sub-divide them into Spring, Summer/Autumn, and Autumn/Winter varieties. Combined with their long standing and hardiness we crop cabbage in the garden almost all year round. Cabbages are either round or pointed and come in two colours: green or red.
There is also some variation in leaf texture. Most are smooth but the Savoy types have a blistered texture.

Red Drumhead is a very reliable red cabbage which can be sown as a summer cabbage or an autumn/winter one.

How to grow:
Grow in the brassica section of your rotation.

Summer cabbage can be started very early in the season undercover, January and February, in pots or modules. Later sowings should be made in the brassica seed bed
in March and April.Transplant into the permanent position between March and June up to 45 cms apart. Cabbage can be ready in as little as 60 days from transplant. Harvest Summer cabbage before the first frosts.

Sow Autumn Winter cabbages in the brassica seed bed in April.
Transplant into the permanent position between May and June up to 45 cm apart. Harvest early Autumn and winter.
