Any recommendations for a compact cabbage plant?

The ones I grew this year were HUGE, the plants, not the cabbage heads.

I would like something less prone to take over the garden that still produces a respectable size head.

And I am avoiding hybrids at all costs. I want to be able to save the seed. I realize that may preclude a compact plant.

Any recommendations on a good OP butternut squash with good long term storage?

Any recommendations on a good OP butternut squash with good long term storage?

"Bigger Better Butternut" has the longest storage life of any butternut I've grown. I still have at least a dozen in the basement still, from last year's crop!

It's not a widespread variety, though. I'm negotiating with a couple seed companies, but most likely it'll be the Experimental Farm Network that will be carrying my seeds this year. I'll post if that changes.
