Ferry Morse Cabbage-Copenhagen Market Early "2009"

The best known early cabbage; forms 6 inch solid heads, 2-3 weeks before large, late types. Heads weigh 2-3 pounds at maturity, an ideal size for the family refrigerator. This packet will plant approximately a 60 foot row.

Start seed indoors 6 weeks before last killing frost in spring. When 4 inches tall, transplant outside. Or, sow directly outdoors when frost danger is well over. Place 2-3 seeds together every 1 1/2 feet. Thin to one plant every 1 1/2 feet when seedlings are 2 inches tall.

Cool weather vegetable. Plant cabbage near tomatoes and/or celery to help repel cabbage worms. Small collars placed around young plants deter cutworms.
