Cultivation advice

Sowing

Sow the cabbage-seeds successively from very early spring until late summer. Sow them thinly, about 1 cm deep directly in the land or in hotbeds and greenhouses for an extra early or late harvest. Seeds sown in mid-July usually yield the best harvest. 

Spacing

Så kålfröna i omgångar från tidigaste vår till sena sommaren. De sås glest, ca. 1 cm djupt, direkt på friland eller i drivbänkar och växthus för en extra tidig eller sen skörd. Frön sådda kring mitten av juli brukar ge den bästa skörden. 

Harvest

Start picking the leaves early. The plants grow quickly and harvest the more or less close-knitted heads as they are ready. Several cabbage sorts begin blooming in summer, so do not delay the harvest. They tolerate quite a lot of bitter cold and can be eaten fresh far into the late autumn. Use them raw, boiled, preserved, fried in salads, soups, gratins, and stews etc.

Seed

1 g contains 300-500 seeds. A portion is enough for sowing 3-6 metres. For linear sowing 10 g is required to sow 100 metres.
