Title: Ooops - bought some Spring Cabbage seed by mistake..
Post by: gavinjconway on February 11, 2012, 18:18:46
I bought a 3 variety Cabbage seed pack and didn't realise Spring Cabbages are to be grown from July and then over wintered... Would they grow as a normal summer crop or am I being stupid!!

Flws of Srng, I sow throughout the year and use as Baby Leaves, Greens or Hearted, depending on how long you leave them in.
Lovely flavour and one of the most versitile varieties around
