Sowing & Growing
Can be sown in mid August, transplanted late September to mid October for Early January harvest.
Prepare soil in final planting location, incorporate plenty of well rotted organic matter and dig over. Best done a couple months before sowing. Soil must not be acidic. Sow indoors 12mm deep into moist well-drained seed compost. Cover with a layer of vermiculite. Propagate 20-25°C. Germination takes 4-7 days. Once germinated grow on in cooler conditions. Transplant seedlings when you have 2-3 true leaves. Acclimatise and plant out when danger of frost has passed.
Can sow outside from late March for transplanting later. Sow into a seedbed 13mm deep in rows 25cm apart. Once large enough to handle move to final position with 30cm spacing.
Cover young crop with fleece or netting to prevent bird or insect attack. Water thoroughly after planting. Feed if desired with a high nitrogen fertiliser. Weed as required. Harvest once the Cabbage head has matured. Cut with a sharp knife close to ground level, a secondary crop of small Cabbages may appear from the cut surface.

I have just bought all my new seeds for next year’s vegetables after having such great results this year. Budget seeds are so helpful, I’m a newbie in the veg growing world and they have been helpful in choosing the best seeds to start with etc. also much cheaper than elsewhere so if I do mess up in the future it isn’t costing me so much. I thoroughly recommend Budget Seeds for all your veg and flower seeds.
