I tried this cabbage when I was visiting the Omsk region - I really liked it: both the heads of cabbage are enviable and the taste is excellent. Naturally, I found the seeds and planted cabbage at my place. But I completely did not take into account the characteristics indicated by the producer (breeder) of the variety ... The cabbage grew small - both the plants themselves and the heads of cabbage, and ripened very early - at the end of summer, and then the heads of cabbage began to crack intensively. Naturally, at this time we are not talking about any fermentation yet, it was necessary to urgently "dispose of" it fresh. I realized my mistake and concluded that the variety is excellent, but it is suitable for growing only in the northern regions of our country, and it is not suitable for the Middle Volga. Very sorry.
