Cabbage

Brassica oleracea capitata

Information

As you can see from below there are plenty of different varieties of cabbage on the market.  I've been growing the Copenhagen Market cabbage from kings because it grows well and testes good, but I've never tried any of the others.  Of particular note is the Walking Stick from Egmont Seeds - it appears to look like a tree!

Plant
Plant in trays apparently all year round!

Germination
4 days for Copenhagen Market, but the germination rate is low
