Brunswick Cabbage
Brunswick Cabbage
90 days — 'Brunswick' is a large drumhead-type cabbage variety. It is a cold hardy, highly adapted variety that is suitable for spring as well as fall/winter harvesting that stores quite well. Produces solid heads around 8-10" in diameter, weighing 6-10lb. Although its exact history is elusive, we know that 'Brunswick' is an old German kraut-variety. Here in the United States, it appears in the oldest seed catalogs that we have in our library, dating back to the early 1870s. Each packet contains 1 gram, which is approximately 150 seeds.
Planting Instructions: Plant indoors five weeks prior to your last expected frost date. Sow at a depth of about ¼ inch keeping moist until the seedlings appear. Use as much light as possible, watering as required.
Two weeks prior to transplanting, acclimate the seedlings to the outdoors by moving outside into the shade and then return indoors at night. Expose the plants to more direct sunlight every day. Check moisture regularly. Transplant 16 inches apart in rows spaced 24 inches.
