Mini cabbages for single serving portions

I like cabbage but i do not especially like left over cabbage. Since I live by myself, I grow the tiny ones, Gonzales, Katarina etc. I also like Early Jersey Wakefield even though it is a bit too big. All of them are easy. I also had them all sprout secondary heads after the main one was taken when I left a good rosette of mature leaves. Both types threw 4 new ones, all of which were much smaller, but the ones on Early Jersey Wakefield were still large enough and firm enough to be handled and used as a full if small head and the new growth on smaller varieties could be harvested before new heads and used as baby greens or even a salad base if left connected; their secondary heads would be more like Brussels sprouts but much earlier.

I intend to pinch a few Early Jersey Wakefields when transplanting to see whether i can get the small pointed heads as a first crop. It is still one of the better tasting varieties IMO.
