As far as size goes, most of the Vantage family cabbage will size up depending on how close you plant them. At about 9 inches or less in the row, you will get smaller heads of about 4-6 lbs. At 12-15 inches you will get some mega heads. We always have some 10+ pounders due to skips with the finger planter (our tractor goes a bit too fast for us to get every finger). But that's OK for us as we have a couple of restaurants that want the huge heads. They claim they go thru their shredder better.

Yes the bigger heads do go through the shredder better.
I need to update and post that I bought Late Flat Dutch and All Seasons from Victory Seeds.
https://www.victoryseeds.com/mobile/...l-seasons.html
The Late Flat Dutch will bat cleanup for the All Seasons. A 90 day good size and a 110 day monster should stack up well for my buddy who asked me to get these.
I'm only gonna grow a few of each but the other seeds will all be planted and made into sauerkraut in Hemingford NE
Thanks for all the info and knowledge you folks passed on! I wasn't sure about frosts ansld cabbage. Now I am headed in the right direction.
