Kalibos Red Cabbage
ID: #625108
Description
HEIRLOOM Kalibos, simply, is the most stunning cabbage we have ever seen. Her heads are deep purple and conical with wide, round hips. Organic Kalibos Red Cabbage is exceptionally sweet, tender and long storing, as well. We first tasted Kalibos grown by Blue Heron Farm (Lodi, New York) in March 2013 and were swept off our feet never having tasted such sweet, fresh cabbage so late in the season. It has been a privilege to collaborate with Blue Heron to select Kalibos for early maturity, excellent head shape, density and flavor and excellent storability, as well. Though longer to mature than many cabbages, trust us friends: Kalibos is more than worth the wait. We enjoy Kalibos as slaw, braised, roasted, turned into kraut and in borcht and are so grateful to be able to share this seed with you. Kalibos is best as a fall cabbage; sow in early or mid-July for best results. Lou at Blue Heron seeds them in early July and transplants them in early August at two-foot spacing; he waits until October and November to harvest heads of optimal size and sweetness.

Large Soil Blocker
$43.00
Large soil blocks are optimal for many varieties, especially larger, quick-growing seeds. We sow everything from broccoli to lettuce, basil to zinnias in our large soil blocks! If you’re going to get just one soil blocker, this is the one. And Friends, soil blocks make seed starting easier and grow such healthier transplants. We have made soil blocks for nearly 20 years as professional growers and don’t worry, it is straightforward for the novice gardener, as well. Every seed you sow will be grateful for growing in a soil block rather than a cell or pot and here’s why: soil blocks have more soil (and thus nutrients) per volume, so each plant is bigger and healthier in impressively little time. Being constricted by plastic sides causes plants to become root-bound, but plants in soil blocks are surrounded instead by air, so the roots naturally “prune’ themselves and never become root-bound, dramatically reducing transplant shock. Not to mention, soil blocks are so fun to use and you’re reducing single-use plastics, too! If you’re a visual learner like so many of us (myself, included!), hop on over to our Soil Blocks in 5 Easy Steps blog for step-by-step written and video tutorials; there’s also the super short story below.
