Wintergreen is a dark green open headed cabbage with a wonderful spring green taste. It crops from January onwards making it a welcome and valuable crop when there is little else to harvest. There is a certain lack of uniformity in the crop which professional growers should be aware of but is still a valuable source of greens in the early Spring.
Organic Cabbage (Spring) Wintergreen (Brassica oleracea)
Transplant in September or October when about 10 cm tall.
Soak the plants before transplanting. Keep the roots wet while you are transplanting the plants to their permanent position. This will help them get established quickly. You can do this with a dibber making holes about 15 cm deep and 45 cm apart. Pop the plug/bare root plant in, firm the soil around and water well.
Harvest late Winter and early Spring.
