Filderkraut cabbage variety. On its' way to Cole Slaw. It is tall and large on the bottom. Other seed like this is often called conehead. Though the outer leaves don't look that nice the interior is perfect. It was planted with the rest in early spring and has held through the heat of the summer. I chose it for its' unusual shape, just for the fun of it. I will let you know just how delicious it is after dinner tonight. It is much bigger than then it looks in

I have had little to no success growing cabbage. It always ends up getting eaten up by cabbage moths. :hit
I am planning my 2025 garden and I have a lot of cabbage seeds.
Got any advice? :caf
You must spray them with organic BT. I start my own seed, always do a handful of varieties. I actually do that with everything. That way if one variety has a bad year, others should do well.
