Any opinions on Bonnie Hybrid Cabbage (DTM 75) ? I bought a 6 pack today, to fill in until I get another seed batch started. I have space in the shady area where I grew cabbage last year, or in full sun where squash was previously grown. Starting to feel like summer with temps in the 80's coming. I'm not familiar with this cabbage variety so I hope someone can guide me as to the better site considering the high temps at this time of year.

No experience with this particular cabbage? I haven't planted it yet, and I'm a bit concerned about the warm temps when it matures in mid - August. Bitter/goes to seed/ refuses to head? Just curious, not much info on the net short of what our friends at Bonnie proudly describe.
