Planting and Care for Cabbage

Sowing: Sow seeds ¼-½ inch deep in well-drained, fertile soil, ideally starting in a seedling tray for transplanting. Keep soil consistently moist during germination.
Growing: Requires cool temperatures and regular watering to form firm heads. Provide adequate spacing (12-18 inches) between plants for proper head development. Mulching helps retain soil moisture.
Harvesting: Harvest once heads feel firm and solid to the touch, typically 80-100 days after sowing. Cut at the base, leaving outer leaves and roots to potentially produce smaller secondary heads.

Precautions While Growing Cabbage

Sow within the cool season window, as warm temperatures can prevent proper head formation
Maintain consistent watering, as irregular moisture can cause heads to split
Watch for cabbage worms and aphids; use organic pest control methods where needed
Harvest promptly once heads are firm, as overripe heads can split or become woody
