CABBAGE-RED ACRE produces a compact plant with short stems. It is a top-notch red variety that is used raw, cooked, or in coleslaw. This lovely cabbage variety produces striking reddish-purple, globe-shaped, heads that can add real beauty to your vegetable garden or gorgeous color to meals. It has resistance to cabbage yellows and head-splitting. It stores much better than many varieties. Heads are about 1.4 kg. It won’t split when planted in the spring and is one of the best cabbages for winter storage when planted in the late summer for autumn harvest.
Direct sow 6 weeks before the last frost, or start under protection 3 weeks before that. Start 4 months before the first frost for autumn/winter crops. Cabbage likes fertile soil and steady moisture.

More About Us
When I started this journey in 2009, I found nothing existed commercially, that was reasonably priced and easy to use. There was a homemade system which I also found was not that user-friendly.
Then a friend of mine told me about a homemade method she used. However, when I tried her method, I found this also didn’t suit my needs, as it too had flaws that I considered where important. It did not keep vermin out, did not have a lockable lid and (to me) looked unsightly in the garden
