Cabbage : Summer/Fall : Red Jewel F1

One of the best round red cabbages there is. Large, tightly packed hearts with crisp, ruby red leaves. Excellent standing in the ground and storing ability.

Sowing:

Sow from late spring to mid/late summer for late summer to fall production. Sow ¼ inch deep in a good seed compost. Germination takes 4-14 days at 70-75F.

They can also be sown direct in early summer in drills ½ inch deep, 12 inches apart, spacing the seeds 1 inch apart in the drill. Thin out when large enough to handle. In hot weather, water the drills well before sowing.

Growing:

Transplant when large enough to handle into boxes 2in apart. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out in April-May 24x24in apart.

Aftercare:

Water in dry weather and give liquid feed as the heads start to develop. Harvest from July-October, dependent on sowing date. To avoid the danger of Clubroot grow your Brassicas in a different site each year so that they only occupy the same spot once in four years. Days to maturity: 110
