Brunswick Cabbage Seeds
Brunswick cabbage, also known as Brunswick Drumhead, is a traditional heirloom variety that has been cultivated for centuries. It is particularly prized for its hardiness and ability to withstand cold temperatures, making it an excellent choice for winter harvesting. This cabbage variety is characterized by its large, flat heads which can weigh between 10 to 15 pounds when fully mature. The leaves are a deep green color, with a thick, crunchy texture that makes them ideal for a variety of culinary uses.
One of the key benefits of Brunswick cabbage is its versatility in the kitchen. It can be used in a wide range of dishes, from classic coleslaw and sauerkraut to hearty soups and stews. Its robust flavor holds up well in cooked dishes, and its crisp texture adds a pleasant crunch to salads and slaws.
Growing Brunswick cabbage is relatively straightforward, but it does require some planning. It thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with plenty of organic matter. Gardeners should start seeds indoors about 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date, then transplant seedlings outdoors once they have developed a few true leaves. Regular watering and occasional fertilization will help ensure a healthy crop. As it matures, Brunswick cabbage can be harvested progressively, allowing gardeners to enjoy its bounty over an extended period. Whether you are a seasoned grower or a novice gardener, Brunswick cabbage is a rewarding and nutritious addition to any vegetable garden.

How to Save Seeds
Cabbage will cross pollinate with any member of the Brassica oleracea which includes cauliflower, broccoli, kale, and brussel sprouts so separate by 1 mile . They also require overwintering for seed. So you'll want to preserve the head when overwintering by either heavily mulching the plant or if you have colder winters transplant the plant from the garden to a pot of sand and store over winter in an area between 35 to 40 degrees. Once spring arrives simply place the plant back out into the garden and allow to bolt. Once pods appear and dry out harvest and store seeds.
