Jersey Oxheart - Cabbage
This very old variety, not very sensitive to bolting, produces dark green conical apples. They have a thick texture and good flavor.
Sow in pots under cover. Cover seeds with a thin layer of soil. Transplant when plants have 2 to 3 leaves, at 10 cm intervals, so that the roots can form a "hair" before being planted out.Transplant when plants have 4 to 5 leaves, at 60 cm intervals in rows 60 cm apart, without burying the stem too deeply. For sowing in the open ground, sow lightly in rows 60 cm apart. Thin out to 60 cm along the row.
