Haven\'t been thrilled with this plant yet timing of planting is important and the growing season need to be less then hot hot hot, when I have had a good crop and the bugs didn\'t spoil it\'s for this cabbage was great it has a spicy tangy flavor. I enjoyed it roasted, steamed, slawed.

These have grown extremely well for us with seed starts being very reliable. The plants are so hardy they even survive flea beetle and other bug attacks. Danish Ballheads stored in our pantry for months after the last harvest and retained a lovely cabbage flavor and moisture.
