    This was the standard for winter storing when I was young. In central Virginia they were transplanted in early July for harvest in October. Stored in a root cellar or Kiln, they would keep until early spring. Large heads averaging about 12 lbs. It was an excellent boiling cabbage in a time when boiling cabbage down was norm. Not as tender as spring or summer cabbages.
