Additional Details

When to Sow April Cabbage Seeds

Late July to August.

Where to Sow

Sow seed thinly in a prepared seed bed in shallow drills 2cm (3/4") deep. Keep well watered.

What to do Next

Thin the seedlings as they appear to 5cm ( 2in) apart. Once seedlings are 10-15cm (4-6in) tall, transplant to their final growing site spaced 30cm (12in) apart. Always set the young plants 1.5cm (1/2in) deeper than they were in the seed bed. Keep well watered during hot dry spells.

Maturity

March to Late April the following year.

Handy Tip

A dual purpose variety. To grow spring greens plant out at 15-20cm (6-8in) apart and take alternative plants in March as spring greens, leaving others to fully mature.

Nutritional Values

Excellent source of vitamins A, C and B. The darkest leaves contain the most nutrients.
