Tip from the nursery
How to tell if cabbage is ready? Press on the head - when it feels firm and heavy, it's at its peak. Don't wait too long - an overripe head may crack. Color tip: To maintain the purple color when cooking, add a little vinegar or lemon juice to the water. Harvest: Cut the head off with a sharp knife at the base, leaving a few outer leaves on the stem - sometimes additional small heads will grow! Sow gradually: Sow every 3-4 weeks for a continuous harvest throughout the winter.
