Copenhagen Market Cabbage thrives in cooler climates. Prepare your soil by turning it to a depth of 8 inches and sow the seeds 2 to 4 inches apart in rows 2 feet apart.
Cover them with 1/4 inch of fine soil, firm it lightly, and water gently. The plants will prosper in full sun, although they can tolerate partial shade. Expect a growth period of 63 to 100 days.
Your cabbage plants will be ready for harvest when the heads are firm and the size of a large grapefruit, typically 63 to 100 days after sowing.
Harvest the entire head before the leaves start to open. Cabbage flavor is enhanced after a light frost.
Named for its commercial appeal and robust yield, the “market” in Copenhagen Market Cabbage is well-earned. This heirloom variety, which traces its roots back to the early 20th century, was cultivated by Hjalmar Hartman and Co. in Copenhagen, Denmark, and continues to be a favorite among growers for its visual allure.
