Having never grown cabbage before I'd appreciate some advice please.
Firstly, the variety, I like the tight white sort that I grate and eat raw in salads.
Secondly, when do I plant them?
Finally, what growing conditions do they particularly thrive on?
cheers ;D
I'm not a great cabbage lover I tend to only grow winter varieties.
I see no point in using up valuable space on the plot growing cabbage during the summer when I can grow the more expensive stuff such as; calabrese & cauli in their place!
I am not up on the varieties. I will leave this to the others to suggest but the following info might help you;

we use red cap and kalibos raw in salads, both red, I'm afraid ;D
