Spring Cabbage error

[Hector]

I got some Cabbage seeds in a swap...I have seedlings ready to pot up and have now found out they are Cabbage Delaway (Heritage variety) and shouldn't be sown until August. Are they goners? What would you lot do with them? It says Irish, kale-like, so I wondered if I still plant out with fleece and hope for the best. Sounds a good one as says disease resistant/ come again sweet leaves.

hi, I think you will find that you sow them in august so that they will be ready to harvest the following spring..... thats why its called spring cabbage ;D. I do two sowings 1 in april and 1 in august.

I grew them in spring, by mistake and they lasted all season and into the new year... don't really head up just keep taking a few leaves fromeach plant all summer..  :)

Hi Hector,

Go for it, plant them out and you can always cut some early, as Spring(Summer) greens and leave some to overwinter. No problem
