Cabbage Copenhagen Market HEIRLOOM Seeds  $1.69

95-110 days. Introduced by H. Hartman & Company in 1909, this Denmark original has been a gardener’s favorite for over a century. 6″-8″ diameter and 3-4 lbs., it is compact, tightly-wrapped, and perfect for small gardens. It is the standard of excellence for many varieties that were developed after it! Adaptable to a range of climates. Resists splitting and stores well.

This packet sows eighteen 10-foot rows.

When to sow outside: 4 to 6 weeks before average last frost for a late summer crop or 3 to 4 months before average first fall frost for a fall crop.

When to start inside: 4 to 6 weeks before average last frost for spring transplanting, or 4 to 6 weeks before transplanting outdoors for fall crop. Start in pulp pots that go directly in the ground for minimal transplant shock.

Harvesting: Harvest heads as soon as they are well developed, firm, and solid when squeezed. Cut off heads at base with a sharp knife. Cabbages left in the ground beyond maturity are more subject to disease and splitting.
