Mr Fothergill's Cabbage (Savoy) January King 3 Seeds, Very popular and hardy winter cabbage. 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 60cm apart when plants are about 10cm tall. Allow 60cm 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 60cm apart.
