Week 26 - Bed 8 Planting

We decided to give up on the beetroot and chard, and cleared them from the bed - besides we needed the space for the brassica transplants that are getting too big in Bed 9. We mixed in a few handfuls of dried seaweed fertilizer and transplanted 4 types of cabbages (listed from south to north):

• Holland Late Winter Cabbage (3 plants) - large, white, solid, hardy variety
• Cour di Bue Summer Cabbage (3 plants) - large pointed heart variety, maturing in early autumn, light green in colour
• Red Drumhead (Cabeza) Cabbage (3 plants) - large, solid, ball shaped, deep red variety to harvest from summer to autumn
• Vertus Savoy Cabbage (3 plants) - medium late variety with round flattish heads, medium green, well curled and frost hardy
