A single variety is all it takes to fill the Oct-May leek harvest window, where 'winter-long harvest' of other crops, cabbages especially, relies on several varieties maturing across time. 'Glory of Enkhuizen', the first of six cabbage varieties maturing here this winter season.

Photograph in the garden of a row of the Dutch heirloom cabbage, 'Glory of Enkhuizen'. Introduced in 1899 by Sluis & Groot in Enkhuizen, Holland. Medium-large, hard, round heads. An early, excellent-keeping variety that is a good producer and good for kraut. Really impressed with it as a fall cabbage. Clearly it is being well-stewarded. Quality is exceptional. Today, we harvested four heads for kraut-making.
#naturallight #nofilter #nonuffink Long been a huge fan of 'Kalibos', the conical, Belarusian heirloom cabbage, here in its muted late-summer colors before it turns a dazzling, almost luminous, intense purple. Sweet, psychedelic, Eastern European OP pointed cabbage, it's a thing.
