Cabbage Xmas Drumhead is a very popular variety, producing substantial firm heads of dark green right through. It is sown in late May for cutting late September to December.

SOW:  April and May

HARVEST:  September to November

WHERE TO SOW:

Sow the seed thinly in a well prepared seed bed in shallow drills 2cm deep. Keep well watered.

WHAT TO DO NEXT:

Thin the seedlings as they appear to 5cm apart. When the seedlings are about 10-15cm tall, transplant to the growing site 45-50cm apart. Set the young plants 2cm deeper than they were in the seed bed.

HANDY TIP:  Cabbages are hungry plants. Rake a general fertiliser into the topsoil a week before planting out. When planting, tread the plants in firmly.
