‘Copenhagen’ Market Summer Cabbage

A very reliable & productive variety introduced by “H. Hartmann and Co.” right back in 1909. It quickly makes solid round heads 6 - 8” across, and the medium-sized plants are good for small gardens.

This did really well for us even in then terrible summer of 2024!

“Belarusskaya 455” Summer/Autumn Cabbage

This European cabbage is a great long-storing, hardy heirloom from Belarussia, near the border with Poland. It is one of best two we found in our 2017 trials of old ex-USSR varieties.

Productive! Makes flattened heads in about 100-130 days that are nice and tight, very pale green (almost white) , weighing 2 to 3kg.

Bred sometime before 1945 by the seed company Vniissok, from an even older Belarussian heirloom.Consider keeping your own seed, we don't produce much of it.

Golden Acre Summer Cabbage

This is a really good summer cabbage that makes tight round heads that are a very attractive golden-green colour, and an excellent flavour. (The colour hasn't shown so well in the photo, but a row of them in the garden really does stand out glowingly.)

Sow relatively early in spring, and you can harvest at that useful period before the main summer crops get going.

Greyhound Summer/Autumn Cabbage

A traditional compact cabbage ideal for smaller plots, with not too many outer leaves and a nice dense conical head. Normally sown in spring for an early summer crop, this received the RHS Award of Garden Merit in 2002.

A much-loved variety that is suited to sowing and harvesting over a long period.
