Help, seem to recall some moons ago of a winter cabbage that when mature could be pulled and hung up, and would last for some six-eight weeks, any ideas as to the name. shallotman

I think you can do it with any of the solid Winter White type cabbages but I'm not sure if it is still sold under that name. Might be Holland Late Winter.
While you are on cabbage I have been well pleased this year with the red Kalibos, got mine from Seeds of Distinction but others have it. Pickles and braises with apple and red onion really well.
