When I initially purchased these "red express" cabbage plants early spring, it said it took 45 day's to mature. Well here it is mid-July and still no cabbage.
It does appear to be forming a head however and I was told by a knowledgeable gal at the local nursery that it is a fall crop and to leave it be.
I am not sure If I will grow this again as it is huge already, and I really have a small garden plot. Hopefully I will be rewarded by the taste once it is fully mature and harvested this fall.
I will most likely make a kraut with it, as my sweetheart is German and I was given a recipe for red kraut by his lovely sister Delores.
