Any especially flavoursome cabbage, suitable for windy South Coast?

 Cabbage is one of those vegetables I can take or leave. However, I'd like
to grow some if I can find a particularly tasty variety. Any
recommendations? I'm gardening in alkaline soil on the south coast of
England, in a rather windy location.

Thank you..

So what sort of cabbage do you want to grow, spring, summer, winter?
They like alkaline soil so that's OK they also like a rich soil so get some
manure dug in. They also like to be well firmed in when transplanting.

In my opinion the best Winter cabbage is January King, Hardy, stands
well and tastes great. Always grew well outside Hastings in the days
when winters were winters.

I would agree with you Dave with one proviso, they have not grown well for
us the last few years and I have no idea why. Summer cabbages we like are
Derby Day and Pyramid and for winter any of the Savoys seem to do well
consistently, just remove all dead leaves every few weeks to keep them
clean.

I have already dug a shipload of horse manure and compost into the soil, so
they should be happy. As for harvest month, I'm not too fussed. Maybe one
for Summer and one for late winter would be ideal. Anything with a firm
heart and a bit of flavour and aroma would be good.
