Organic Cabbage, Express Red (1/4 lb)
Excellent in Slaw or Pickled
Cabbage - Express Red - Brassica oleracea (Capitata group)
Biennial Express Red's uniform heads grow to approximately 3-4 lb on a compact frame with few outer leaves. This early variety is relatively split resistant and stores well. Delicious when raw in coleslaw or other salads, it is also an excellent addition to soups and casseroles, or pickled.
Did You Know? Cabbage is high in vitamin C, folate, and antioxidants.
Soil & Water: Cabbage prefers rich, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.5. Water heavily from planting to head formation, then water moderately to prevent splitting. Cabbage is a hardy crop, grown best in cool spring and fall temperatures.
Planting & Growing: Start indoors 8 weeks before last frost, or outdoors March through June. Fast growing or stressed cabbages tend to split and bolt; cutting into the root system will slow growth and prevent splitting. Provide transplants with cutworm shield collars.
Harvesting & Storage: Early types of cabbage grow and mature quickly and must be harvested promptly to avoid splitting. Heads store well in cool (32°F-40°F), moist locations for 5-6 months.

from 9231 reviewsThe cute packaging caught my eye first. I love you can open it up sprinkle in the seeds you need to use, and then close it up for another time. It is compact and cute. I am eager to harvest my greens.
One of my favorites to grow…always get a good yield out of this one and the flavor is just…YUM!
I received these in August and they have braved the heat of the past 2 months. I have continued to water them to ensure they live. One tree looks much better than the other, although I see buds ready for next year on both. I can't wait for spring to see blooms, leaves and branches to begin.
huge bulbs made up of huge cloves; perfect quality for planting - very firm and paper in tact.
My order was prompt and just what I expected.
I purchased Elephant and Music garlic bulbs to plant in my zone 7 garden. They arrived as firm, healthy bulbs.
Heads were big with many large cloves. I am anticipating a great outcome in early summer 🧄
Our chickens love this forage.I was a little concerned growing this in south Florida however it is flourishing. Our new go to, thanks Peaceful Valley!
What a deal - top quality and only $20.99. Happy Frog is a premium brand.
I prepped my raised beds with Happy Frog Potting Soil. I love that it contains earthworms castings. Premium product!
Firm bulbs, excellent quality. I eagerly await the saffron harvest next Spring.
Lovely large bulbs, wonderful quality!
I planted a row of red chesnok. The color is stunning, excellent quality.
I just planted two rows of CA late white. Garlic bulbs look beautiful - great quality. Can't wait for harvest and for braiding time!
I have been ordering shallots from Grow Organic for a couple of years now. I had some problems with the shallots, I have to say they have the best customer service. I am a Master Gardener and have ordered 100's of different veggies seeds for years at many different companies as I buy seeds for the Master Garden's and never have experience such great customer service. I believe anything you buy from them you will be happy
