Turn it into sauerkraut or kimchi and it will last until your next harvest

Chop it up and blanch it then stick it in the freezer. I have just bought my 3rd freezer.

I cut a cabbage off when I need one and leave the stalk in. They usually sprout again and grow more little cabbages.
I would not cut a cabbage and keep it for days without eating it as they tend to go soft.

Wrap a cabbage in plastic, put in the bottom of the fridge and it should keep for several weeks.

Thanks for all the help and advice folks  :lol:

I've taken the option of freezing it! Would hate to loose it all!

Cheers again
