HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Start your Copenhagen Market Early cabbage seeds inside 8-12 weeks before the last spring frost, planting them in rich soil 1/2 inch deep and 2 inches apart. Because the first crop of cabbage should mature before the heat of summer, plant your seedlings about 4 weeks before the last expected frost; set them 12-18" apart in rows 3-4' apart, burying the stems about halfway up. For a fall crop, direct sow or transplant seedlings in midsummer. For companion planting benefits, plant cabbage with aromatic herbs or potatoes; avoid planting them with tomatoes or pole beans. Herbs such as thyme, peppermint, sage, and rosemary will repel the destructive white cabbage moth.
Growing: If hard frosts come, cover the young plants. Mulch around them to regulate soil temperature, and keep the soil moisture even to prevent the cabbages from splitting.
Harvesting: Harvest the cabbages as soon as feel firm and reach a good size. Small cabbages tend to be more tender, while large cabbages from fall growth keep well over the winter.
Seed Saving: Late in the fall, mulch at least six different cabbage plants to ensure genetic diversity. If the climate is cold, digging up the entire plant and storing it over the winter will be necessary - keep it in moist sand at a temperature of about 40 degrees F. Replant 4-6 weeks before the last spring frost. If the heads are still firm, cut a deep X in the top to provide an easier exit for the stem. The stem will grow about 4-5' tall, with many four petaled yellow flowers. Allow the flowers to mature; when the seed pods form, pick them and allow them to dry. Remove Copenhagen Market Early cabbage seeds from the pods and store them in a dry, cool place for up to five years.

We Can Always Rely On Everwilde Seeds!
We are small scale farmers who provide local produce at our Farmer's Market, Southport, CT. These large, oval flat shaped cabbages are the best ever tasted! We make lots of stuffed cabbage, and this Copenhagen cabbage head is the sweetest, most tender leaf to work with! We find Everwilde seed to have 99% germination and great growth with all of the vegetables seeds we've tried.
Asked for a Review, So...
I ordered seed from Everwilde 10 days ago and I received it in good time, maybe 4 or 5 days. I haven't opened the package yet. I don't understand how it's helpful for the company to "improve services", as they ask, but I was asked. If Everwilde asks me in two months after I've potentially grown the seed might be a better option. Somehow, it's hard for me to imagine how such a short time-frame can be helpful other than potentially my feedback to ask at a later period of time in the future. I don't see my review getting posted, but it's honest.
Excellent place to buy seeds!
I was looking for mangle seeds and only expected to buy them. But then I discovered they had everything else I was planing to find one at a time on the net. I was quite happy to get a few things rather than just one. The price of shipping was very reasonable and the package arrived quickly. The seed packs were beautiful and well designed with good instructions and reclose nice and tightly. I was very pleased with this purchase and will shop with Everwhilde again, for sure.
Good seed
Cabbage of good size with an approximate diameter of 20 to 25cm, little resistance against insects, should be careful with pest control, is very easy to grow in home garden, in order to have a better development use a rich soil in nutrients, very good taste.
