Glory of Enkhuizen Cabbage

I started these from seed and put them out in late March or early April. I'm in central AZ. I was astounded at how big these got. I gave several away, and harvested one at ten pounds because it was getting TOO big. I needed it to fit in the refrigerator. It kept well there, and I'd just cut off what I needed and put it back in the refrig. I also made several quarts of sauerkraut that came out well. A word of caution, plant it in a different place the next year. The ones that got planted in the same place did not fare well, although I still got a nice crop from the ones planted in a different garden.

We planted these for our yearly batch of kraut and were not disappointed. Large dense mild flavored heads. Cut almost all of it July 10th for the kraut. The bonus was that the remaining heads lasted and lasted so we ate them at our leisure for slaw and etc. right though mid September. None split. The mature heads stayed crisp and tender. Even the last harvested. Double bonus is that the cut plants produced new heads of decent size not just sprouts. Some got 2 heads. These late volunteers are going into the root cellar. Summer was cooler than normal here this may have helped.

I order these seeds without much expectation. Nut I was amazed at the size of the cabbage. Very easy to grow, extremely cold hardy, and flavor was very mild. Excellent for kraut!

Well being from the land of Giant Cabbage we had that base covered. Always looking for a good kraut cabbage an I'll have to say that this has to be one of my all-time favorites. You can't go wrong with this cabbage. That being said, this season will go down in the books as one of the best for Cole crops. We trans-planted 57 plants that we started from seed inside, and they all have grown exceptionally well! Get this, the average size of the heads would have to compare with a basketball! Harvested one a few days ago as a sample and will be harvesting the rest in about a week. Wish I could post a pic or two but oh well, if you are looking for a reliable variety look no further!

Started these indoors and transplanted around the 1st of June here in zone 4, when they were about 2 inches tall. We had a hot dry summer, and I was terrible at keeping up with the watering. Then, in the fall, when it got wet and cold, these really got big! And they didn't crack like so many others I have gotten from nurseries! These also didn't seem bothered by bugs, and were beautiful. If you want a beautiful fair cabbage, then these are for you. I didn't get around to it this year, but I imagine they would make great saurkraut as the description says. They are very sweet and buttery cabbages that are very low maintenance!
