Hello, does anyone know where I can buy 'Quintal d'Alsace' cabbage seed in the US? I can only find a few sources in Europe. Thanks.

Looks like SSE has them, but I'm no longer a member and don't want to join for one cabbage seed.
@flowerbug thank you. It goes without saying, I'll pay for postage. etc.(so I won't say it), your are most kind for looking for me.
Well, in 2009 The Oregonian newspaper said it was one of the two best to grow here in the Willamette Valley. I already have seeds for the other one, January King. Quintal d'Alsace is the traditional variety used for producing sauerkraut in France's Alsace-Lorraine area. While I am not a fan of sauerkraut, my neighbor is, so I'll be growing it for her.What is it about this Alsatian cabbage that makes it so appealing Jack? Is it the taste, or the winter hardiness perhaps? You have piqued my curiosity.
How nice of you! I have an elderly neighbour who really likes rhubarb, but his patch doesn't grow well. So, I have kept way too many rhubarb plants in my garden so he can come over and harvest what he likes, and freeze some too. This has gone a LONG way into convincing my neighbours that my having a garden is a good idea.Well, in 2009 The Oregonian newspaper said it was one of the two best to grow here in the Willamette Valley.
