Note
Harvested 3 to 4 months after sowing. Harvesting after only 65 days, we’ve never managed that… It’s a summer cabbage, but can also be used as an autumn or storage cabbage when sown later. For it to keep well, you need to harvest it before it gets too ripe. If it starts to fade or split, it should be cooked quickly, or processed and frozen.

BTK is applied 2 or 3 times a season to prevent cabbageworm damage. Netting also works well.
