Cabbage - Discovery
The Cabbage Discovery, 'Brassica oleracea (Hybrid)', is so tasty and so sweet that Discovery is the only cabbage a national food chain will use. Discovery is an early to mid-sason variety. These compact 7 to 8 inch round heads will fit in any nook or cranny your garden might offer. They are much better than the grocery store cabbage. Discovery is easy to grow and is a great container variety. Plant in the spring, 3 to 4 weeks before the last frost for summer harvest. In warm climates, plant in the fall for winter harvest. Discovery Cabbage prefers rich, moist, well drained soil with lots of organic matter. Harvest the heads after they firm up and are solid when squeezed. ... get more information
