Description
April cabbage is an early spring variety, known as a spring green. Compact heads grow on dwarf plants. They can be planted at 30cm spacings as it makes few outer leaves, and therefore needs less space than other varieties. Plants grow to around 30cm tall.
Hardy Annual
When to Sow April Cabbage Seeds
Late July to August.
Where to Sow
Sow seed thinly in a prepared seed bed in shallow drills 2cm (3/4") deep. Keep well watered.
What to do Next
Thin the seedlings as they appear to 5cm ( 2in) apart. Once seedlings are 10-15cm (4-6in) tall, transplant to their final growing site spaced 30cm (12in) apart. Always set the young plants 1.5cm (1/2in) deeper than they were in the seed bed. Keep well watered during hot dry spells.
Maturity
March to Late April the following year.
Handy Tip
A dual purpose variety. To grow spring greens plant out at 15-20cm (6-8in) apart and take alternative plants in March as spring greens, leaving others to fully mature.
Nutritional Values
Excellent source of vitamins A, C and B. The darkest leaves contain the most nutrients.
