Cabbage: Katarina

It’s surprising how large a homegrown cabbage plant can grow and how much better it tastes than store-bought.

For a mini cabbage, try Katarina, which produces a small but tasty head and grows well in larger containers. To keep cabbage butterfly larvae from eating the leaves, you may need to cover it with a light horticultural cloth.

You should have mature cabbage heads ready to harvest in about six weeks. This particular variety was an All-America Selections winner in 2016.

• Sow seeds indoors four to six weeks before transplanting outdoors or buy transplants in early spring.
• Cabbage tolerates light frost, which means it can be planted outside several weeks before your frost-free date.
