In Grandma's Garden - Cabbages

We'll have a few cabbages planted in our garden this year.  There will be two successions in the Spring and two in the Fall.

The Cabbages include:

 Red Rock:  This cabbage is a large heirloom cabbage from 1889 with deep red heads that have good flavor and are very colorful.  This is my go to cabbage for Red Spiced Pickled Cabbage that I like to can up.  If I offer some, grab it quick before I pickled it all up!  Look for it mid May and mid June.  Seed is Non-GMO, organic

Early Golden Acre:  This old time cabbage is a compact, small leafed variety that hardens early.  These should be ready the end of May



Glory of Enkhuizen:

Introduced in 1899 by Sluis & Groot in Enkhuizen, Holland. Has medium-large, hard round heads. An early,excellent-keeping variety that is a good producer and good for kraut.  We will have lots of this cabbage.  Look for it the end of June and again in September.  Seed is Non-GMO, organic

Brunswick:
A large drumhead cabbage, very cold hardy. A fall/winter type cabbage, stores very well. Introduced in 1924, it is an excellent market variety that is becoming rare. Watch for this the end of May and more in  September.  Seed is Non-GMO, organic


Tete Noire:
The traditional French variety is very rare outside of Europe. Solid, deep-red heads are of good quality and are mostly grown as an autumn variety in France.  Ready in September.   Seed is Non-GMO, organic
