gram
Rodyna :
Deep-burgundy red medium-large heads with short stems. Medium-storage cabbage.
How to
grow:
Grow in the brassica section of your rotation.
Sow Autumn Winter cabbages in the brassica seed bed in
April.
Transplant into the permanent position between May and
June up to 45 cm apart. Harvest early Autumn and winter.
Pests
and diseases:
The seedlings can be susceptible to slug damage and the
older plants can be ruined by cabbage white butterfly caterpillars.
The best way to protect from this is to net with netting
during the Summer. Once harvested the stems can be composted but they are very
tough. You can pulverise them with a hammer to help them break down faster.
