TYPE                Summer crop vegetable

PLOT               Outdoor plot

WHERE TO SOW:

Early sowings in trays or modules under glass at 13°C. Later sowings direct into seed bed in shallow drills 1.5cm  deep.

WHAT TO DO NEXT:

Prick off the glasshouse seedlings when 6-8cm  tall into trays 5cm  apart. Thin module sowings to single plants. Harden off before planting out in the growing site from early May 30cm (12”) apart. Thin outdoor sowings to 4-6cm (2-3”) apart as soon as possible, planting in the growing site when 15cm  tall spaced at 45cm  apart. Firm in well and keep well watered in drought conditions.

HANDY TIPS:  Cabbages like good solid ground. Do not plant into freshly dug ground, so dig the plot well in advance. Do not grow on same ground two years running.

NUTRITIONAL VALUES:  Excellent source of vitamin C & B. The darkest leaves contain the most nutrients.
