When I ordered the seeds, it was because of the way the cabbage looked... they get pretty big, and they are delicious!
This superb variety produces large heads of high quality, and they are beautiful as well. An excellent main crop cabbage. Holds in the field until early November in Vermont by which time the heads are glowing purple. Tender and delicious when cooked, and performs better in a hard year than other varieties I have grown. Heads up like a trooper after Labor Day.
Last season I planted 2 cabbages, The Penca Povola Verde (which they rarely have) and the San Michele.
The Penca Povola is an open leafed cabbage which is fantastic tasting and very mild. No burp, so smell when cooking. The San Michele is bullet proof, no bugs, beautiful with big heavy heads. I've just harvested the San Michele and wish I could upload a photo. I have them growing with flowers and they're so pretty, I hate to pick them.
