Cabbage is a garden delight. Use it raw in coleslaw or cooked in your favourite recipes. Cabbage seedlings can be planted out as soon as the danger of frost has passed. Plant them 18 inches apart in full sun in rich well-drained soil. For a pretty effect, alternate purple cabbage with green cabbage. Harvest cabbage when the heads are firm. Fresh picked garden cabbage is food fit for kings.

Cabbage stores well in a root cellar or cool shed. Don’t forget to rotate your cabbage crop yearly!
