Year Round Cabbage Collections

Due to the slugs last year I had little success with overwintering cabbage and decided not to even bother over last year/ this year, but I have been looking at trying to extend the harvest period for cabbages, and Marshalls have a  Super Saver Cabbage Seed Collection made up of four separate packs of seeds which is ideal for allotment owners;

Pixie (600 Seeds: Sufficient seed for 100ft/30m row) Mid-green, compact plants producing small wellhearted heads with few outer leaves. A very early variety suitable for close spacing.

Primo 2 ( 500 Seeds: Sufficient seed for 100ft/30m row) An excellent ball-head variety that's ideal for cutting in the middle of summer. Produces large, heavy, solid cabbages with excellent crisp leaves that are ideal for eating raw in salads as well as cooking.

Picador (Approx 50 seeds) Just the job for smaller gardens, the heads of Picador weigh in at around 2lb. It crops from August right through to October with dark green, densely packed heads and a short internal core - so there's minimal waste.

Tundra (100 Seeds: Sufficient seed for 35ft/10.5m row)  The most frost-hardy cabbage. Sown in April to May, it crops from November to late April.

Marshalls Cabbage Seeds Collection (All-Year) can be purchases for £6.75 a saving of £1.85  and you get a massive 1250 seeds in total which are provided in their own individual packs. Those I received have best before dates of 2017, 2018 & 2019.  

This is a huge difference to the Thompson and Morgan offering where you get one pack of three varieties of seeds in a single 35 seed pack for £3.99 and have absolutely no idea what varieties you are actually sowing and planting.
