About Copenhagen Market
Copenhagen Market is an heirloom cabbage with round dense heads and good flavor, larger than many extra-early kinds but still relatively quick to mature. It is a reliable all-purpose fresh-market type.
Growing Copenhagen Market Cabbage
Space plants enough for full heading, because crowding reduces head size. Harvest when heads are hard and heavy, and watch for cabbage worms during the wrapping stage.
