Great, sweet cabbage. Small size, great for our 2 person family. Started from seed and transplanted.

So glad we tried this variety, now a garden staple. Delicious sweet flavor. Can be a bit challenging to get going--I find mounding the soil up around the young stalks seems to help, but once established produces very nice heads. Cabbage loopers also love them, a little BT takes care of the problem.
