| I tried this for the first time last year and was shocked at how easy it was to grow, how compact it was, I could fit 3-4 across in my 4ft wide raised bed. When we harvested them, they were great! Just the right size for one large bowl of cole slaw. No leftovers to have to use up. Now if someone would make one just as good as this only red, I'd be all set. |

| Excellent! Planted Gonzales for the first time this year. (seeds from Johnny's). Grows fast, forms a nice head somewhat larger than a softball. Holds well in the field. Stores well int he fridge. Cooks up nicely and has very good flavor. A couple of heads left in the filed developed to much larger size, 10* or so. (Seeds from Johnny's) |

| I tried Gonzales first time this year . I like the small head just good for dinner. I could plant it closer to save space, just one foot per head. They mature extremely early ,mid July for my zone 3 site. |

| I really loved this cabbage. Very small, softball sized heads that were perfect for plucking out of the garden to make a little slaw with dinner without tossing part of it or putting half in the fridge. You can poke these into small spaces in the garden if space is an issue. Not as tender as some but the convenience is great. I liked to shred and fry in a little butter for a side dish as well. |
