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.


Have you tried Savoy? Nice crinkly texture. Finely sliced and steamed,
served with a knob of butter and a little pepper - tastes great.
