Default Any especially flavoursome cabbage, suitable for windy South Coast?

So what sort of cabbage do you want to grow, spring, summer, winter?
They like alkaline soil so that's OK they also like a rich soil so get
some manure dug in. They also like to be well firmed in when
transplanting.


I have already dug a shipload of horse manure and compost into the soil, so
they should be happy. As for harvest month, I'm not too fussed. Maybe one
for Summer and one for late winter would be ideal. Anything with a firm
heart and a bit of flavour and aroma would be good.
