Danish Ballhead Cabbage
100 Seeds
(Brassica oleracea) A Danish variety with roots dating back to the 15th century. Excellent producer of 10" solid, round heads weighing roughly 5-7lbs each. Our most reliable variety-- seems to have fewer insect problems than other varieties we've tried. Full-season and well-suited for winter storage. 110 days to harvest. Approx. 100 seeds/pkt.
CULTURE: Sow seeds indoors approx. 8 weeks before last frost. Transplant outdoors as soon as soil can be worked or approximately 5 weeks before last frost. Fall crops can be started approximately 3 months before last frost and set outdoors once seedlings have put out at least three true leaves. Cabbage plants are heavy feeders and therefore will benefit from a heavy dose of well-composted manure. Floating row covers and biological controls are effective tools to protect against damaging insects.
