About This Book

The practical manual offers detailed, season-by-season instructions for raising cabbage, cauliflower, and related brassicas, covering soil selection and preparation, manure use, seed sowing, transplanting, and cultivation of young and maturing plants. It diagnoses common pests and disorders and recommends protections, wintering and forcing techniques to secure heads in cold months, and methods for keeping and marketing the crop. Varietal descriptions, seed-production guidance, greenhouse, cold-frame and hot-bed practices, feeding uses, and simple cooking and sauerkraut directions complete the comprehensive how-to guidance.
