Red Cabbages are something just a little bit different and special.

Whilst they can be cooked and eaten like any conventional cabbage they really come into their own as a vegetable when 'pickled with sugar and vinegar; this is a Shirley family favourite and Nanna Shirley's recipe can be found here (it's actually her Mum's recipe).

Once again we have carefully blended a selection of Red cabbage varieties which will provide a successive harvest and get over the all 'coming at once' problem attached with growing just one variety.

Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects if allowed to 'go over' and flower (so if you have room leave any plants in that have gone too far rather than pulling them out straight away).

Supplied as compost block grown plants.

How To Grow Red Cabbage

Set out 18" apart in rows 18" apart.
Harvest September onwards (dependant on time of planting).

Top Tips
Red cabbages grow well in a rich soil, but do not overfeed as this makes them more susceptible to frost damage.
Protect from Pigeons - Pigeons love Brassicas (so do Partridges)
Take precautions against the dreaded Cabbage White Butterfly - inspect your crop regularly, spray with our BioFriend Plant Defence or use a physical barrier such as insect netting.

HI We purchased apple tree James Grieve on the 05/03/2009. We must tell you how pleased we are, it has already developed a nice shape, and has produced 22 well formed apples we are amazed. The tree was value for money. We wish you all well. Mr & Mrs D S Jones, Great Barr, Birmingham
