White Cabbage

[Jillyreeves]

Hello

I want to grow White Cabbage next year, the round solid ball type you see in shops. I am just a bit confused about what variety this might be?

Im sure lots of grapes know but I want to be sure I am growing the right variety, please help

Most of the summer ballhead cabbages are what we know as white cabbage. I have grown Primo (Golden Acre Primo to be precise) for the last two years and it has performed admirably - in fact I am still picking them for my veg boxes though some are starting to look a bit worse for wear now that the season is drawing to a close - never mind, my savoys and winter cabbages are waiting in the wings.

I've grown a small one this year called Minicole, it's just the right size for us to use up in one or 2 meals, and makes great coleslaw too

Like the look/sound of Minicole, but wow they are expensive seeds

Is it?! I think I got it free somewhere, can't remember off the top of my head.. Anyway, I'll have a look in the seed box, if I've got some left I'll send you a few PM me your address, and if I don't find em I'll let you know.
