Cabbage - Candissa
This variety is probably the sweetest of cabbages. It can be used as a mini vegetable or fully mature at about 1kg in weight. This is a must for cabbage growers.
Sow the seed from mid-February to May. Early sowings can be made in trays or modules under glass at 13°C, and later sowings direct into a seed bed in shallow drills 2cm deep. Prick off glasshouse seedlings when 6-8cm tall into trays 5cm apart. Thin module sowings to single plants. Harden off before planting out in the growing site from early June at 45cm apart. Thin outdoor sowings to 4-6cm apart as soon as possible. Ready to harvest from July to September.
