This compact variety also be sown or planted closely for delicious 'spring greens' ready to harvest from February. Height: 30cm (12"). Spread: 35cm (14"). Companion planting: Try growing cabbages with Nasturtiums to draw cabbage white butterflies away from your crop, and mint to help deter flea beetles. Sow spring cabbage indoors seed from March to May for Summer harvesting or July to August to overwinter for a spring harvest. Alternatively direct sow outdoors into a well prepared seedbed, for transplanting to their final positions later on. Sow at a depth of 13mm (1/2") and distance of 23cm (9") between rows. Indoors, sow seed at a depth of 12mm (1/2") in trays of free-draining, seed sowing compost and cover with a layer of vermiculite. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a plastic bag at a temperature of 20-25C (68-77F) until germination which takes 4 -7 days. Once germinated, grow Cabbage plants on in cooler conditions until all risk of frost has passed and plants are large enough to be transplanted with 2-3 true leaves.
