From the year of 1760, there exist written documents describing the export of cabbage to Vienna. During the decades of cultivation of cabbage in Futog, a population was created that was different according to their quality properties from the others. Producers have beginned in each harvest year to keep only the specified plants for seeds.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif;">The long-duration selection was responsible for the creation of the population called “Futoški kupus” (the Futog cabbage), which was important for the fresh consumption, and for souring,</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif;">as well.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif;">The creation of this population, of course, contributed to the convenient agroecological conditions and geographic location of the district of Futog. The geographic region where the fresh Futog cabbage, as well as the sour Futog cabbage,  are produced is the cadastral community of Futog.  </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><strong>The geographic region</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif;">Futog is the settlement located of the most fertile part of Pannonian lowland, on the left coast of </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif;">The Danube, in Serbia. It is located in the middle of the course of the river of Danube, at its 1270 km. It is located about 10 km upstream, on the west side of Novi Sad, the capital city of the autonomous province of Vojvodina.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><strong>Geographic region</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana, geneva, sans-serif;">Owing to the influence of the specific geographic climate and to the traditional approaches which are applied during growing and souring, specific sensorial properties are obtained, which make the Futog cabbage, either fresh of sour, different with respect to the other related samples.</span></p>

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> </head> <body> <h2><strong>Jersey Cabbage Seeds (Brassica oleracea longata)</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 5 seeds.</strong></span></h2> <p>The Jersey cabbage (Brassica oleracea longata, also known as Jersey kale or cow cabbage) and by a variety of local names including giant cabbage, long jacks, tree cabbage, and the French chour and chou à vacque. It is a variety of cabbage native to the Channel Islands that grows to a great height and was formerly commonly used there as livestock fodder and for making walking sticks.</p> <p>The 'Jersey cabbage' develops a long stalk, commonly reaching 6 to 10 feet (<strong>1.8 to 3.0 m</strong>) in height, and can grow as tall as 18 to 20 feet (<strong>5.5 to 6.1 m</strong>). Historically the stalks were made into walking sticks, of which 30,000 a year were being sold by the early 20th century, many for export. They were also used for fencing and as rafters. Much of the stalk is bare; the islanders stripped leaves to accentuate this effect and induce it to grow without twisting, varnished the stalk, and created a handle either by heat-treating and bending the root end or by planting at an angle to produce a naturally bent root.</p> <p>The lower leaves were fed to livestock, (one variety in Portugal was grown specifically for the purpose), and were reported of great value: The Farmer's Magazine stated in 1836 that five plants would support 100 sheep or 10 cows, and sheep fed them were rumored to produce silky wool up to 25 inches (64 cm) in length. The open cabbage at the top is comparatively small: "the size of the cabbages at the top was so infinitesimal that one seemed forced to the conviction that nature meant them to be stalked, not cabbages".</p> <p>The plant is now rarely grown in the Channel Islands, except for feeding rabbits. Although, it is still cultivated for walking sticks by Philip and Jacquelyn Johnson, who were shown on the BBC One series Countryfile in January 2010.</p> <p><strong>180 days.

<h2><strong>Semena zelí Futog</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Cena za balení 200 (1 g) semen.</strong></span></h2> <p>Zelí se pěstuje ve Futogu z doby 18. století, z dob korunování císařovny Marie Terezie. Od roku 1760 existují písemné dokumenty popisující vývoz zelí do Vídně. Během desetiletí pěstování zelí ve Futogu byla vytvořena populace, která se liší svými kvalitativními vlastnostmi od ostatních. Producenti začali v každém sklizňovém roce chovat pro semena pouze určené rostliny.</p> <p>Dlouhodobý výběr byl zodpovědný za vytvoření populace zvané „Futoški kupus“ (zelí Futog), která byla důležitá pro čerstvou spotřebu a také pro kysání.</p> <p>Vytvoření této populace samozřejmě přispělo k pohodlným agroekologickým podmínkám a zeměpisné poloze okresu Futog. Zeměpisná oblast, kde se vyrábí čerstvé zelí Futog, stejně jako kyselé zelí Futog, je katastrálním společenstvím Futog.</p> <p>Zeměpisná oblast</p> <p>Futog je osada nacházející se v nejúrodnější části Panonské nížiny na levém pobřeží Dunaje v Srbsku. Nachází se uprostřed toku Dunaje na svých 1270 km. Nachází se asi 10 km proti proudu, na západní straně Nového Sadu, hlavního města autonomní provincie Vojvodina.</p> <p>Geografická oblast</p> <p>Díky vlivu specifického geografického podnebí a tradičním přístupům, které se používají při pěstování a kyselnutí, se získávají specifické senzorické vlastnosti, díky nimž se zelí Futog, buď čerstvé, kyselé, liší od ostatních souvisejících vzorků.</p><script src="//cdn.public.n1ed.com/G3OMDFLT/widgets.js"></script>

It has large fleshy glaucous collard-like leaves and abundant white flowers. The seeds come one each in globular pods.</p> <p><strong>Distribution</strong></p> <p>Very rare in Northern Ireland, recorded from Counties Down and Antrim and from a number of seaside counties of Ireland.</p> <p><strong>Culinary use</strong></p> <p>The plant is cultivated as a vegetable, related to the cabbage.</p> <p>Along the coast of England, where it is commonly found above high tide mark on shingle beaches, local people heaped loose shingle around the naturally occurring root crowns in springtime, thus blanching the emerging shoots. By the early eighteenth century, it had become established as a garden vegetable, but its height of popularity was the early nineteenth century when sea kale appeared in Thomas Jefferson's Garden Book of 1809. It was also served at the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, when Prince Regent George IV of the United Kingdom (1762–1830) used it as a seaside retreat.</p> <p>The shoots are served like asparagus: steamed, with either a béchamel sauce or melted butter, salt and pepper. It is apt to get bruised or damaged in transport and should be eaten very soon after cutting, this may explain its subsequent decline in popularity. However, given a rich, deep and sandy soil, it is easy to propagate and grow on from root cuttings available from specialist nurseries. Blanching may be achieved by covering it with opaque material or using a deep, loose and dry mulch.</p> <p><strong>As an ornamental plant</strong></p> <p>As an ornamental garden plant, C. maritima has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.</p> </div><script src="//cdn.public.n1ed.com/G3OMDFLT/widgets.js"></script>

<h2 class=""><strong>Broccoli Corvet Seeds (Brassicaceae Brassica oleracea)</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 200 seeds.</strong></span></h2> <p>Delicious, 18 to 28", bluish-green close-beaded heads are 3 to 6". Bears until frost, with many side shoots. Brought with Italian immigrants in the late 1880s. Good for home or market, freezing and canning. Corvet which matures in about 60 days after transplanting. It gives you the best of both worlds – the primary head is large and firm, but after its removal there is a succession of secondary spears.</p> <p>Seed Saving</p> <p>Broccoli usually self-incompatible and must be cross-pollinated by insects. This means there must be a number of plants flowering at the same time. All of the Brassica oleracea crops are the same species and will cross with each other. To maintain purity you have to ensure that only one type flowers at once. The alternative is to isolate them, either by distance (1000 yards for different varieties, 1500 yards for different crops), or by caging them (don't forget they need insects for pollination). Save the seed from at least 5 plants to maintain some genetic diversity.</p> <p>Seed is produced in long pods and should be gathered when the older bottom pods first start to split open. Watch them carefully as they shatter easily when they are fully ripe. Cut the seedpod bearing stems and dry them in a warm place (I put small quantities in a paper grocery bag so I don't lose any seeds). The large seeds are easily handled and cleaned. Of course, it is essential that they are thoroughly dry before storage.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Seed Viability in Years: 3-4 years</p><script src="//cdn.public.n1ed.com/G3OMDFLT/widgets.js"></script>
