Danish Ballhead cabbage seeds produce heirloom cabbages that are mild and tender. This is a great, general-purpose cabbage that is good for sauerkraut, coleslaw, or general cooking. Big 8-25cm (7-10\"), light-green, well-protected heads stand happily in the garden well into the winter. It happens that Denmark has the ideal geography for producing cabbage seeds. The wind and humidity and mild temperatures provide the perfect conditions for cabbage breeders. This is why so many cabbages refer to Denmark or Copenhagen in their names. Danish Ballhead was first introduced in 1887, and has remained a favourite ever since. Cabbage is another member of the Brassica family that is full of nutrients, including vitamins A, B1, B2, and C, as well as various antioxidants. The American Cancer Society strongly urges an increased intake of cabbage and other Brassicas in the diets of North Americans. Eating lots of cabbage may also protect the eyes from macular degeneration. To preserve its vitamins and mineral content, do not overcook cabbage. Store cut cabbage in the refrigerator in a plastic bag with holes in it and use as soon as possible. Cabbages are also highly ornamental in the garden -choose varieties for colour, deep-red, blue-green, dark-green or leaf texture, savoyed (crinkled), or flat leaf. To learn How to Grow Cabbage  follow the easy instructions below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e115 days — 'Danish Ballhead' has been a standard storage-type variety since it was introduced by W. Atlee \u0026amp; Company in 1887. It has been a dependable variety, resisting bolting and splitting and keeping until late spring. Produces round, blue-green, seven to eight inch diameter heads weighing five to seven pounds. Adapted to the Northeast and does well in mountainous areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough known as 'Danish Ballhead' in North American, it is actually a short-stemmed strain of the old Danish variety called 'Amager'. Danish records date 'Amager' as being developed by Dutch colonists, on the island of the same name, in the fifteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen introducing it as a new variety, here is how W. Atlee Burpee described 'Danish Ballhead' in their 1887 Seed Annual:\u003cbr\u003e\n\"While in Denmark last August, we discovered a variety of cabbage called, from the shape of the heads, Ballhead, which the Danes prize so highly that they grow it almost exclusively for winter cabbage, and annually export large quantities. In the winter of 1884-5 several large shipments were made to New York, where ready sales, at high prices, were realized. The variety has been selected and perfected for more than fifty years by the Danish gardeners and it is remarkable that the seed has not been offered before in America. We have imported, at a high price, a limited supply of the seed direct from the best growers in Denmark and can recommend it with full confidence. The heads are hard as they can be, round as a ball, of good marketable size, of extra choice quality, very fine grained, and remarkably good keepers.\u003cbr\u003e\nMatures in 120 days.

Herodotus wrote of lettuce being served in ancient Greece, and it was a favorite vegetable in ancient Rome. In fact, the word \"lettuce\" is derived from the Latin root word \"lac\" meaning \"milk,\" referring to the milky juice found in mature lettuce stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eColumbus and other European explorers brought lettuce seeds to the New World. Our early colonists included lettuce in the first gardens planted in American soil. Today, lettuce is a favorite vegetable here and around the world.\u003cbr\u003e\nOne head of this excellent romaine is just right when you’re making a salad for two. This lettuce produces a blend of tasty green outer leaves and golden blanched inner leaves that taste best when picked minutes before your meal.

The raised beds warm up faster than the surrounding ground, so you should be able to get an earlier start in the spring and a later crop in the fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo make the most of limited garden space, plant lettuce around taller plants like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, peppers, and eggplants. The lettuce helps its neighbor by keeping the surrounding soil moist and cool and keeping weeds shaded out. As the taller plants grow, they provide needed shade for the lettuce as the days get warmer.  Many varieties of lettuce are also welcome additions to ornamental beds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e• Choose a sunny location (6+ hours of sun) and dig a hole about two times as wide as your pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e• Remove your plant from the pot by loosening the soil and tipping it out into your hand. Place your plant in the soil about as deep as it was in the pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e• Refill the space around your plant with soil and press lightly to compact the dirt, keeping your plant firmly in the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e• Water immediately to settle the soil, and add more soil as needed, bringing it level to the rest of your garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe key to lettuce production is supplying moderate but almost constant water, especially during hot weather. Unless there is regular rainfall, lettuce must be watered deeply at least once a week—more frequently during periods of drought. Use a thin layer of mulch to help the soil retain moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLettuce is generally disease and pest free, but you should still be vigilant.  Watch for lettuce rot which first attacks the lower leaves in contact with the soil and then spreads throughout the plant. The best way to prevent diseases is to rotate crops. Don't plant lettuce in the same bed two years in a row.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLettuce can be harvested any time after true leaves form. For the best quality, it's better to pick early than late as lettuce allowed to grow too long may be bitter and tough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo harvest romaine varieties, cut the plant right at the soil line when mature, if you prefer to harvest full heads. You can do the same with butterhead and looseleaf lettuce. To keep the plants in producing longer, harvest only the outer leaves, as needed. Try to harvest in the morning when the leaves are crisp, sweet, and full of moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince lettuce is primarily water, it does not store well. For the best quality and flavor, use homegrown lettuce soon after harvest.

You may plant Brunswick cabbage in winter or spring, as well as fall. Much of your planting decision depends on your location. This large head cabbage needs soil temperatures of 45 degrees F. (7 C.). If air temperatures are lower than this but above freezing for most hours, there are alternatives to keep the soil warm. A layer of mulch or of plastic, or both, keeps the soil warmer for the roots. This can be valuable in colder winter climates. Heads of Brunswick cabbage continue growing unless temperatures reach freezing and remain. This specimen takes 90 days to reach maturity, so calculate accordingly in your area. Cold and frost give the Brunswick heads a sweeter flavor. You may start Brunswick cabbage from seed to hasten your late winter planting. Sprout seeds indoors and begin gradually acclimating them to the outdoor cold six weeks before your average last freezing date. Grow seeds to 2 inches (5 cm.) with a few sets of leaves before planting into the ground.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRead more at Gardening Know How: Brunswick Cabbage Variety – How To Grow Brunswick Cabbage Plants \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.gardeningknowhow.com\/edible\/vegetables\/cabbage\/grow-brunswick-cabbage-plants.htm\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.gardeningknowhow.com\/edible\/vegetables\/cabbage\/grow-brunswick-cabbage-plants.htm\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.gardeningknowhow.com\/edible\/vegetables\/cabbage\/grow-brunswick-cabbage-plants.htm\u003c\/a\u003e","brand":"Shortcake Farms \"The Seed Vault\"","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41743725330606,"sku":"417437253306_523E","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/7927\/7230\/products\/Untitleddesign_28.png?v=1637281022"},{"product_id":"organic-all-season-cabbage","title":"Organic All Season Cabbage","description":"Organic All season Cabbage.  Great for summer or winter.  Comes with 20 seeds","brand":"Shortcake Farms \"The Seed Vault\"","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42290981961902,"sku":"422909819619_F76C","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/7927\/7230\/products\/All_Seasons_Cabbage_Seed.jpg?v=1646325771"},{"product_id":"organic-boston-bibb-lettuce-butterhead","title":"Organic Boston Bibb Lettuce (Butterhead)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOrganic Boston Bibb Lettuce.  Butterhead variety.  Can be grown hydroponically or in soil.  Comes with 10 seeds.  Great for late winter early spring garden.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"theseedvault","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43552792379566,"sku":"435527923795_131F","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/7927\/7230\/products\/51kHf9pXd1S._AC.jpg?v=1668188676"}],"url":"https:\/\/shortcakefarms.com\/en-sg\/collections\/lettuce-collards-kale-cabbage.oembed?page=3","provider":"Shortcake Farms","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
