April is a spring cabbage. Ideal for overwintering. April produces very uniform, small compact heads. Can be picked early in spring and used as spring greens. Full heads will be ready to pick from early April from August sowing.

Sow the cabbage seeds in compost in seed tray or in small pots August-October, or outside in a seedbed, about 1 cm deep.\nWhen seedlings are large enough to handle, plant them individually, keep them inside until they have 4-6 leaves.

Plant outside, spacing 16in x 18in, in well drained soil, be sure to water the plants in sunny spells, protect from birds and slugs.
