Cabbage, Summer Autumn: Filderkraut
Brassica oleracea var. capitata
Approx. 250-300 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. They can be 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.

Filderkraut is a firm mid-season cabbage for harvesting from September. The heads can grow very large and heavy, but closer spacings will give smaller heads which are more suitable for home gardens. Filderkraut is an heirloom variety, originally from Germany, The leaves are thin and have a very sweet taste.
