The Cabbage 'Durham Early' is an ideal choice for home gardeners seeking a reliable, high-quality spring cabbage that produces firm, pointed, and flavorful hearts. It is particularly well-suited for growers who want a compact variety for early-season harvests starting as soon as February. While it is highly productive, gardeners should note that it requires careful attention to soil quality and seasonal timing to ensure the best results in varying climates.

You can sow these seeds in late summer or autumn for spring harvesting. Follow the specific packet instructions for your local climate zone.
Yes, due to their compact nature, they can be grown in large containers provided they receive enough water and nutrients.
The cabbage is ready when the hearts feel firm to the touch when gently squeezed.
Cabbages are heavy feeders. Incorporating well-rotted compost or a balanced organic fertilizer into the soil before planting is highly recommended.
While the seeds are high-quality Thompson & Morgan stock, please check the specific packaging batch for organic certification details.
Increase light exposure or move the seedlings closer to the light source.
Check soil pH levels as cabbages prefer neutral to slightly alkaline soil; add lime if necessary.
Install fine mesh netting to prevent pests from landing and laying eggs on the foliage.
To achieve the best results, start with well-drained, fertile soil that has been firmed down before planting. If sowing indoors, use high-quality seed compost and ensure the seedlings receive adequate light to prevent them from becoming 'leggy'. When transplanting outdoors, space the plants approximately 30-45cm apart to allow for proper airflow. Regularly monitor for pests like cabbage white butterflies or slugs, and use protective netting or organic barriers if necessary. Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging, especially during the early stages of growth.
