Cabbage

HHEF Purchased from Southern Exposure January 2010
Cabbage: EARLY FLAT DUTCH Pre-1875, possibly pre-1855.
85 days Does well in southern and coastal areas because of its heat resistance. Excellent variety for sauerkraut and the best variety for storage. Large, flat heads weigh 6-10 lbs, averaging 11" diameter with medium core and few outside leaves.

HHEF also purchased from Southern Exposure Seed in January 2010
RED ACRE cabbage certified organic seeds
76 days Small, compact plants produce round, 5-7" reddish-purple heads, weighing about 3 lbs. Adds a festive color to cole slaw. An excellent storage variety with resistance to cabbage yellow. Heads may sunburn in hot weather, so best for early spring and fall crops.
