Organic Cabbage, Summer/Autumn Golden Acre

abbage, Summer Autumn: Golden Acre
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.

Golden Acre is a fast-growing, compact ball-headed cabbage. Tightly packed leaves are sweet and particularly tender making it a very popular choice amongst British gardeners. Early sowings in February (with protection) can be harvested in late May, about 65 days from transplanting.
