Description:
This cabbage is very cold hardy and stores well. Brunswick cabbage seeds are an heirloom variety from 1924. The wide, fattened heads weigh 6-9 pounds and are great for making sauerkraut.
Culinary Properties:
Their tender, white, carrot-like roots have a sweet and distinctive flavor that's delicious in soups and stews, mashed, stir-fried or roasted. The trick to growing the sweetest parsnips? Wait to harvest until after the first frost.
Nutritional Value:
Cabbage is an excellent source of many vitamins as well as a good source for fiber, containing as much as 20% of the recommended daily value of each.
Growing Instructions:
SUMMER CROPS: Start indoors 8-12 weeks before the last spring frost planting them in moist, rich soil ½” deep and 2 inches apart. The first crop of cabbage should be mature before the heat of summer, so transplant your seedlings about 4 weeks before the last expected frost. Set them 12-18” apart in rows 3-4’ apart, burying the sems about halfway up. Full sun required.
FALL CROPS: For a fall crop, direct sow or transplant seedlings in midsummer.
