About Golden Acre
Golden Acre is an early round-heading cabbage with compact plants and small to medium solid heads. It is a dependable open-pollinated variety for fresh use and smaller gardens.
Growing Golden Acre Cabbage
Because the plants are fairly compact, it works well where spacing is limited. Keep growth even with regular water, and cut heads as soon as they are solid to reduce splitting.
