Early Jersey Wakefield is a 19th‑century American heirloom with pointed, conical heads that mature fast—ideal for small gardens and early slaws. Sweet, crunchy leaves shine raw or lightly cooked. Cabbage brings vitamin C and gut‑friendly fiber. Start indoors, transplant early, and protect from flea beetles. Harvest when heads feel firm to the squeeze. Compact, quick, and tasty—exactly what an early cabbage should be.

How to Grow

Start seed indoors 4-6 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 50-85 degrees. Transplant to the garden 2 to 4 weeks before your average last frost. If direct seeding, sow seeds 3 to 5 weeks prior to average last frost or as soon as the soil can be worked. For fall harvest, plant transplants 7-9 weeks before average first frost date.
