Cabbage Golden Acre – Seeds – Av. 200

Description

Golden Acre is an old heirloom variety, that produces dense, grey-green heads. References to it can be found in seed catalogues as early as 1927.
It’s a first-early cabbage and grows quickly, so slugs and other pests don’t have much time to affect more mature plants. Slow to bolt and vigourous, with 5 to 6 inch round heads, It is also a compact grower, making it a good choice for gardens with less space. Ready in about 65 days from transplant.

Delicious raw, steamed, stir-fried, or krauted. Best eaten quickly after harvest.
