The cabbage that changed minds about cabbage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"intro\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor many gardeners, cabbage carries an unfair reputation — associated with overcooked, sulphurous school dinners and occupying vast amounts of space for months on end. 'Greyhound' demolishes both objections in one swift movement. This elegant, pointed-heart summer variety is compact enough for even a modest kitchen garden, matures in as little as ten to twelve weeks from transplanting, and produces tightly packed, pale hearts of such sweetness and delicacy that it bears almost no culinary resemblance to the heavy, coarse-leaved winter cabbages that put people off the genus entirely. Shredded finely raw into a light salad, briefly stir-fried in butter and caraway, or braised whole in stock until yielding and sweet, 'Greyhound' is a revelation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name describes the form precisely — a slender, aerodynamic, pointed head that tapers to a neat tip, sitting on a short stem with its outer leaves pressed close. It is an inherently attractive vegetable in the garden, and its compact size — rarely more than 25cm across — means it can be grown at closer spacings than round-headed varieties and fits comfortably into a raised bed alongside other crops without dominating the space. For the kitchen gardener who has never been convinced by cabbage, this is the variety most likely to change their mind entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"section\"\u003e\u003c!-- DROPDOWN 1: Understanding the Plant --\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e🌿 Understanding the Plant\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dropdown-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBrassica oleracea\u003c\/em\u003e var. \u003cem\u003ecapitata\u003c\/em\u003e 'Greyhound' is a \u003cstrong\u003eHardy Annual\u003c\/strong\u003e classified as a summer or spring cabbage — a group characterised by their pointed, conical hearts, early maturity, and notably sweeter, more tender leaves than round-headed autumn or winter types. It is one of Britain's oldest and most consistently grown pointed cabbage varieties, with a heritage stretching back to at least the early 20th century, and it holds the \u003cstrong\u003eRHS Award of Garden Merit\u003c\/strong\u003e for its outstanding and reliable performance in British gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Pointed Cabbages Taste Better:\u003c\/strong\u003e The flavour difference between 'Greyhound' and a heavy round-headed winter cabbage is significant and worth understanding. Summer and spring cabbages like 'Greyhound' are harvested young, before the leaves have developed the tough cellulose structure and high glucosinolate content of a mature winter head. The result is a softer, sweeter, more delicately flavoured leaf that cooks rapidly and gently — it needs only minutes of heat rather than the prolonged cooking that winter cabbages require, and it rewards light, simple treatment rather than assertive seasoning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompact and Space-Efficient:\u003c\/strong\u003e One of 'Greyhound's greatest practical virtues is its modest footprint. The pointed head and short outer leaves mean plants can be spaced at 30–35cm rather than the 45–50cm required by round-headed varieties, making it significantly more productive per square metre of bed space. A single raised bed of 1.2m × 2.4m can accommodate eighteen to twenty plants — enough to provide continuous harvests over six to eight weeks if staggered sowings are made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePest Context:\u003c\/strong\u003e As a brassica, 'Greyhound' is susceptible to the standard range of brassica pests — cabbage white butterfly caterpillars, cabbage root fly, aphids, and slugs. The most reliable and effective solution for all of these is fine insect mesh, applied at transplanting and maintained throughout the growing season. This single measure excludes butterflies from laying eggs and prevents root fly damage without any chemical intervention, and is strongly recommended for a consistent, blemish-free harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c!-- DROPDOWN 2: Growing Guide --\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e🌱 Growing Guide\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dropdown-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Greyhound' is one of the most straightforward brassicas to grow well — its rapid maturity means problems have less time to develop, and its tolerance of cool spring conditions makes it genuinely reliable in the British climate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Sow:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSow indoors from \u003cstrong\u003eFebruary to April\u003c\/strong\u003e for summer harvests, or outdoors in a prepared seedbed from \u003cstrong\u003eMarch to May\u003c\/strong\u003e. Sow approximately 1cm deep in modules or seed trays at 15–18°C. Germination is fast and reliable — typically \u003cstrong\u003e5–8 days\u003c\/strong\u003e. Grow on in a cool, bright environment such as an unheated greenhouse or cold frame — cool-grown transplants establish far more vigorously than soft, warm-grown ones and are significantly less prone to bolting. For a continuous supply, make a new sowing every four to five weeks from February through to May.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransplanting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlant out from \u003cstrong\u003eApril to June\u003c\/strong\u003e once seedlings are 10–15cm tall with a sturdy stem and three to four true leaves. Space plants \u003cstrong\u003e30–35cm apart\u003c\/strong\u003e in rows 35–40cm apart — closer than round-headed varieties, reflecting 'Greyhound's compact form. Plant slightly deeper than the seedling was growing in its module, burying the stem up to the lowest leaves for a stronger roothold. Firm the soil thoroughly around each transplant and water in well. Apply fine insect mesh immediately after planting and secure the edges to exclude cabbage white butterflies and root fly completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOngoing Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeep the bed weed-free and water consistently during dry spells in spring and early summer. Check under the mesh weekly for caterpillars — if any have found their way inside, remove by hand immediately. A collar of carpet underlay or brassica collars placed around the base of each transplant at planting time provides additional protection against cabbage root fly, whose larvae attack the stem below soil level. Feed with a balanced general fertiliser at transplanting and a nitrogen-rich liquid feed at mid-season to support rapid head formation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvesting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHarvest from \u003cstrong\u003eJune to September\u003c\/strong\u003e when the pointed head feels firm and dense to a gentle squeeze but before it begins to split or loosen. Cut at the base with a sharp knife. Unlike some cabbages, 'Greyhound' does not hold well in the ground once mature — harvest promptly and use within a week, or store in the fridge. For the finest flavour, harvest in the early morning when the leaves are cool and fully turgid, and cook the same day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c!-- DROPDOWN 3: Plant Specifications --\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e📋 Plant Specifications\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dropdown-body\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"specs-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBotanical Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eBrassica oleracea\u003c\/em\u003e var. \u003cem\u003ecapitata\u003c\/em\u003e 'Greyhound'\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCommon Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePointed Cabbage \/ Spring Cabbage \/ Summer Cabbage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlant Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardy Annual\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardiness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH4 — Hardy; transplants tolerate moderate spring frosts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight Requirements\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull Sun \/ Light Shade ☀️⛅\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlant Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25–35cm at maturity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHead Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompact pointed heart — approximately 20–25cm long\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlant Spacing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30–35cm apart; rows 35–40cm apart\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSowing Method\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSow indoors and transplant, or direct sow outdoors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDays to First Harvest\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 70–84 days (10–12 weeks) from transplanting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHarvest Period\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJune to September\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlavour Profile\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSweet, tender, and mild — far more delicate than winter cabbages\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeeds per Packet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 250 seeds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"perfect-for-grid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pf-box pf-cabbage\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"pf-icon\"\u003e🥬\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pf-label\"\u003eSummer Slaws, Stir-Fries \u0026amp; Braising\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pf-box pf-teal\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"pf-icon\"\u003e🌿\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pf-label\"\u003eSpace-Efficient Raised Beds\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pf-box pf-green\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"pf-icon\"\u003e🔄\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pf-label\"\u003eSuccession Sowing for Continuous Harvest\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pf-box pf-olive\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"pf-icon\"\u003e🏆\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pf-label\"\u003eRHS Award of Garden Merit Variety\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pf-box pf-slate\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"pf-icon\"\u003e👨🍳\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pf-label\"\u003eQuick-Cooking Summer Brassica\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c!-- DROPDOWN 4: Garden Combinations --\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e🤝 Beautiful Garden Combinations\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dropdown-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Greyhound' is a fast-growing brassica that benefits from active pest management from its companions — these plants from our range provide genuine protection while keeping the productive garden looking beautiful through the summer months:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"companion-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"orange\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"companion-emoji\"\u003e🌼\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca title=\"Nasturtium Tom Thumb Seeds\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bishybarnabeescottagegarden.com\/products\/nasturtium-tom-thumb-seeds\"\u003eNasturtium 'Tom Thumb'\u003c\/a\u003e: The Brassica Bodyguard.\u003c\/strong\u003e Nasturtiums are the classic and most proven companion for all brassica crops.

Its prolific blue flowers provide sustained nectar for beneficial insects from early summer through to autumn — precisely the window when cabbage white butterfly pressure is at its peak — and the combination of Borage's loose, rough-textured habit with the neat, compact pointed heads of Greyhound creates a pleasingly contrasting pair in the kitchen garden that looks entirely natural and deliberately placed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"green\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"companion-emoji\"\u003e🌿\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca title=\"Basil Classic Italian Seeds\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bishybarnabeescottagegarden.com\/products\/basil-classic-italian-seeds\"\u003eBasil Classic Italian\u003c\/a\u003e: The Aromatic Repellent.\u003c\/strong\u003e Basil planted near cabbages is a well-established aromatic deterrent for the aphids, whitefly, and moths that target brassica crops — its powerful oils confuse the sensory signals that these pests use to locate host plants. On the plate, the combination of Greyhound and fresh basil is surprisingly good: a warm salad of shredded Greyhound cabbage, toasted pine nuts, lemon, and torn fresh basil is a light, summery dish that showcases this variety's sweetness and delicacy at its best — and one that makes very clear why 'Greyhound' belongs alongside basil in the summer kitchen garden.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c!-- DROPDOWN 5: Sowing \u0026 Harvesting Calendar --\u003e\n\u003cdetails open=\"\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e📅 Sowing \u0026amp;

Harvest Promptly Tip\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo habits define success with 'Greyhound'. First, apply fine insect mesh immediately at transplanting and keep it on throughout the entire growing season — cabbage white butterflies will find the plants within days of planting and a single clutch of eggs, left undiscovered under a leaf, can reduce a perfect head to a skeleton in a week. Mesh excludes butterflies completely and requires no further action. Second, harvest promptly once the head feels firm and dense — unlike winter cabbages that hold in the ground for months, 'Greyhound' deteriorates quickly once mature, splitting and loosening within days of its peak. Check plants weekly from ten weeks after transplanting and cut without hesitation when the head is ready.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c!-- CLOSING --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"closing-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e🏆 RHS Award of Garden Merit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBrassica oleracea\u003c\/em\u003e 'Greyhound' holds the prestigious \u003cstrong\u003eRHS Award of Garden Merit\u003c\/strong\u003e — recognition that simply confirms what British kitchen gardeners have known for generations.
