25 Heirloom Late Flat Dutch Cabbage Seeds FREE Recipe Included!

Good summer cabbage!

The classic garden cabbage may not really be Dutch. It was actually brought to the new world by German immigrants around 1840 (the same way most people called "Pennsylvania Dutch," are actually from German stock), but Dutch or German, it's still the best, with firm heads measuring about 12" in diameter.

Thank you kindly ormajeanMeyers. Many people don't know that you can actually grow cabbage and root vegetables in containers. This is great if you reside in snow bound regions. Don't limit yourself to just growing herbs in containers during the winter months. Most folks keep their homes on an average of 68F 20C and that's just fine for cabbage to grow. They'll need sun so, keep them near a window.

Dutch cabbage can be harvested in 60 days or so.

Wishing you good health and prosperity NormaJeanMeyers. Cheers ~LosAngeles

P.S. Disneyland actually grow different varieties of cabbage as ornamental plants during the winter. It's a lovely sight to see.

Another Disnleyland wierd fact is that Disneyland is known for having various items hidden around the park in the shape of Mickey Mouse. They even show case cabbage in the shape of Mickey but, you have to look for them. They're hidden inside the Briar Patch Store near Splash Mountain. Walt Disney must have really liked cabbage. If you look up and around on the shelves .. you'll find cabbages sitting on shelves. Most people don't even notice them.

I'm not too sure what the symbolism or endearment that Disneyland has regarding cabbage but, they it sure is a profound one.
