Whats a good Cabbage to grow for Fall?

I'm looking for a recommendation on a good Green cabbage cultivar to grow for fall. I looked through Plantfiles but no particular cultivar jumped out at me. I'm leaning towards 'Storage No. 4' from Johnny's but the name seems uninspired.

Depends on your purpose. If for market, a round headed type of 3-5 lbs is most popular. In open pollinated Danish Ball head and its derivatives, Hybrid -Hercules or Rio Verde. The traditional fall cabbage was the Drumhead and its derivatives. (Late Flat Dutch) Hybrid - O.S. Cross

Hi Farmerdill,

I'm not looking for a market type since my market will be closed by the time I harvest these. I'm mostly wanting to try hybrids until I learn more about what I'm doing. Looking for a large, tasty cabbage that will keep well. I'll look into the Hercules and Rio Verde ones you mentioned.

Thanks,
Jeff

If you want large ( 12-16 lb) try Megaton or O. S. Cross.
