Seed qty (approx)	50
Sowing months	April, May, September, October
Site conditions	They prefer well-consolidated ground. They do not like freshly manured soil and do not plant this after another brassica as it can lead to a build up of disease especially club-root.
How to sow	Autumn sowings - Sep to Oct Spring sowings - Late April to May Sow thinly in a seed bed 1cm deep in rows 15cm apart. If the soil is dry water it well and allow to drain before sowing. Seedlings appear 7-12 days. Transplant when 5-6 leaves have grown in summer spacing 45cm apart, and 45cm apart in rows. Add a general purpose fertilizer before sowing by gently raking in, do not fork in as cabbages like well-consolidated ground. Water hole well before planting and after. Autumn sowings can be sown in pots and kept in a greenhouse / polytunnel, then transplanted outside when large enough in October but do give them added protection of cloches or similar cover at first to prevent shock & gradually harden them off.
Care	Keep well-watered in summer and occasionally in winter if ground dry. Hoe occasionally to keep weed free, and build up soil around base to help keep them upright.
Harvest	Autumn sowings as spring greens March to May, hearted cabbages from June to October. Spring Sowings from October to March.
