Cabbage Derby Day Duchy Originals Seeds

Early ballhead summer cabbage with good resistance against bolting.

Sow mid February in pots or trays under glass, then transplant outdoors for earliest heads in June. Alternatively sow outdoors from mid March to end of May, thinly in a prepared seedbed, 13mm deep.

Transplant when large enough to handle, about 5 weeks from sowing, in to well prepared soil in a sunny spot, allowing 38cm each way between plants. Plant firmly and water in. Compact plants allow closer spacings and less wasted outer leaves.

Later sowing from end of May will produce quality heads to October.

Can be harvested about 60 days from transplanting
