Very good tasting and attractive little cabbage, quick growing. The usual troubles with cabbage loopers etc. Not a storage cabbage, but a good summer variety. |

These have been, easy to grow, headed up nicely and taste sweet. They are not super huge as grown in our raised beds, but we are a small family and that\'s fine. We appreciate the short season of growth for this variety. Whatever I can\'t use fresh or give away I blanch and freeze for winter soups and stews. |

A great reliable early, tasty cabbage for this area. Plant on 12" centers. Not tightly packed head, but sweet and delicious for first spring cabbage. |

One of the earliest conehead types. It has good flavor and grows reasonably well. Heads are quite small. I prefer the Charleston Wakefield which is only about a week to 10 days later and 3 -4 times larger. |
