Some cabbage can be sown in Spring, just not spring cabbage. I've just sown some Wheelers Imperial seed in trays. this will give me heads of pointy cabbage in late summer.
Hi all, I hope all your gardens are doing really well. I just wanted to find out whether this cabbage (pic above) is supposed to give hearts? I planted them last autumn but I don't know what variety they are as I used seeds from some cabbage that I planted the year before that went to seed. I threw the packet away so now I don't know what type of cabbage this is but it seems it has been growing for an awfully long time without giving me any hearts. Any help is much appreciated.

It is not a good idea to save seed of something like a brassica. If it is a hybrid it will not come true. That is it will not be exactly like its parent as it may have been got at by a bee that had also visited another brassica.
The cabbage in the picture looks good. You can cook and eat it without it making a heart.

okay thanks for the advice I guess we will cook them because they have been there for quite some time.
