Mr Fothergill's Cabbage Offenham 2 (Flower Of Spring) Seeds, For spring 'greens' or hearted cabbages. To avoid diseases always rotate brassica crops each year.

Sow outdoors, thinly in a seed bed, 1.5cm deep directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Water well until plants are established. Transplant 45cm apart when plants are about 10cm tall. Allow 45cm between rows. Plant firmly and water well. Or sow indoors 0.5cm deep, in a tray of compost. Water well and place in a cold frame or unheated greenhouse. Keep moist. Transplant 5cm apart to other trays when large enough to handle. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions before planting out 45cm apart. For 'greens' reduce spacing to 40cm apart.
