Our earliest red cabbage that performs well spring to fall. Ruby Ball Improved’s 1-1.4kg (2-3lb) dense purple heads hold well for a flexible harvest. Its small size means it is perfect for close spacing in the garden and dense plantings in the field. Add a late planting of Ruby Perfection to extend the season into late fall.

| Starting |
When learning how to grow cabbage, sow 3 or 4 seeds per pot, 5mm (¼”) deep, under very bright light. Thin to the strongest plant. Space transplants 45-60cm (18-24″) apart in rows 60-90cm (24-36″) apart. |
| Growing |
IIdeal pH: 6.5-7.0. Cabbage does best in humus-rich soil amended with composted manure. Mix ½ cup complete organic fertilizer into the soil beneath each transplant. If growth slows, side dress with a little more balanced organic fertilizer. Heads of early varieties can split from over-maturity, rapid growth after heavy rain, or irrigation after dry spells. Splits can be delayed by twisting the plant or cultivating deeply next to plants in order to break roots and slow growth. Fall and winter varieties stand in the garden longer without splitting. If direct sown, add 20-25 days to the maturity date. |
