Thompson & MorganCabbage Savoy Cordesa 20 Postiplug Plants
Description
The Cabbage Savoy Cordesa is a fantastic heavily wrinkled cabbage which forms heavy rounded heads. This improved variety has the honour of being the first club root resistant variety of savoy cabbage. They stand well when ready for harvesting, even during the frosts so you can leave them in situ until you are ready. No need to harvest all at once! The very dark green vitamin rich leaves have an amazing flavour and make a colourful nutritious addition to your table.Grow Cabbage plants on in cooler conditions until all risk of frost has passed and plants are large enough to be transplanted with 2-3 true leaves.Gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 - 10 days before planting cabbage in moist, rich, well drained soil in full sun. A fertile soil is essential as cabbages require high levels of nitrogen. Prepare the soil in early spring by adding plenty of well rotted farmyard manure to the soil to improve its structure and fertility. Apply lime to acid soils to reduce the acidity and lessen the risk of clubroot. Plant cabbages at a distance of 50cm (20") apart and cover with a protective netting or fleece to prevent attack from birds and insects. Place a collar around the stem of each plant to prevent cabbage root fly attacks. Water the plants thoroughly after planting.Water brassicas regularly and do not allow them to dry out as this may impair their development. Hoe between plants regularly to prevent weeds from establishing and bring insect larvae to the surface. Fold a leaf over developing cauliflower curds to protect them from the sun. Brassicas can be harvested from August onwards, depending on the variety.Product Specifications:. Position: Full sun. Height: Up to 40cm (16in). Spread: Up to 60cm (24in).
