At any given time in the fall/winter months I always have small, medium, and large heads of cabbage growing in the garden along with Bok Choy.
When you harvest determines the size and when mature the Jersey Wakefield I grow rounds out at 8-10 pounds with 10+ inch heads. Also, I like the Bonnie Hybrid cabbage and the red cabbage which is generally small
Small cabbage:
Medium cabbage:
Mature cabbage:
Full grown:
Bok Choy (sometimes called Chinese cabbage)
Red Cabbage:

I have been growing what they call All Season Cabbage.
I like it but it is a little small. Baker Creek has some get 15 pounds and some that gets 25 pounds. Both way to big.
Im planing on getting some seed so Hybrids are out.

How about a picture (s) ?
How about defining what's too small or too large?
What do you want to do with it?
We like heads in the 3 to 6 pound range for making stuffed cabbage. Smaller or larger make sourkraut or get chopped for other dishes. 2 pound or smaller are great for a batch of Cole slaw.

Just never had any luck making sauerkraut...can't take the smell while it is fermenting but do like to eat it.
Our favorite way to eat it...and we have it often, is pan fried cabbage.
I can't seem to tell any difference in the taste of cabbage as it grows to maturity...small or large all seem to taste the same to me.

The smell is one of the best parts.
Pan fried in bacon drippings with a pinch of caraway. Optional splash of kraut brine to cut the sweetness.

I actually like the smell of Skunk. Got this from back when I was Trapping and Skunks brought $3 apiece.
Now Fox I have a problem with the smell.
