Storage Cabbage

Storage cabbages grow slowly and form dense, heavy heads with thick leaves that hold in a cool root cellar or cooler through winter, often until spring. Plant them for a fall harvest. Promise, Buscaro, Typhoon, and Storage No. 4 are green hybrids, and Ruby Perfection is a deep red. Several resist Fusarium yellows. Harvest before a hard freeze, strip loose outer leaves, and store near 32°F with high humidity.
