Cabbage Christmas Drumhead

Description:
The name is a little misleading as December is the end of the harvest period which starts in October. Large heads of blue-green outer leaves and crisp hearts. WINTER HARVESTING Sow the seeds thinly in a nursery bed in April and May 1cm deep in rows 15cm apart. When the seedlings have formed 5 or 6 leaves, about July, tranplant to the growing site 45cm apart all round. Plant 1 or 2cm deeper than they were in the nursery bed and tread in firmly, as they have to stand the autumn and winter winds and need a good solid base. Water regularly white establishing.
