Cabbage is one of the main types of vegetables for Russians, while in the USA, for example, 70% of the "cabbage share" is replaced by asparagus. Unfortunately, the numerous varieties of cabbage only in recent years have interested our gardeners when their seeds have become available.
First, let's try to understand the white cabbage, which occupies more than 90% of all cabbage crops. The 2003 State Register of Breeding Achievements Admitted to Use in the Russian Federation contains 113 varieties and hybrids of white cabbage. In 2003 alone, 9 varieties and hybrids were added to the "Register".

Of the huge number of varieties and hybrids, only 8 are allowed for use throughout Russia, and in addition to them in the first light zone, which includes the Leningrad Region, there are 14 more. These are either very old or completely new varieties and hybrids. From which there are several conclusions: cabbage is an industrial crop in our region rather than an amateur one, and its variety testing and variety renewal do not keep pace with life. However, this does not prevent gardeners from loving and growing it, especially since the seeds of most varieties and hybrids and even seedlings are available.
The table offered to you contains information about a number of varieties and hybrids, compiled on the basis of their descriptions by authors, wholesalers, on the basis of "comments" to the "Register", etc. You yourself have to choose the right varieties of cabbage, based on your plans. We only note that the given characteristics are not absolute, and it is not worthwhile to "rest against" them, since the size of a head of cabbage, for example, in Holland and on the Karelian Isthmus may differ. The descriptions often do not indicate some characteristics. However, most of the new varieties and hybrids are resistant to head cracking and many diseases, but of the truly kilo-resistant varieties, only the new Finish hybrid can be named. The breeding work of leading companies is so high that similar varieties and hybrids are being created in parallel, and you should not kill yourself,if you haven't found something - pick up an analogue.

And yet - remembering the famous fairy tale, do not chase after cheapness, buying seeds on the street in "incomprehensible" packaging from people who do not have documents for the goods. New highly productive varieties, and especially hybrids, cannot be cheap … And, finally, be clear about what you expect from the harvest, whether you are going to store cabbage for fresh consumption, ferment, etc. Not all varieties are suitable for fermentation due to the "weak structure" of the leaves, lack of sugars, etc.
