Growing Tips

1. Planting: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost date, or directly sow outdoors after the last frost when the soil temperature reaches around 50°F (10°C). Space seeds or seedlings 12–18 inches (30–45 cm) apart for optimal growth.
2. Watering: Cabbages need consistent moisture for proper head development. Water deeply and regularly, especially during dry spells.
3. Fertilization: Fertilize with a balanced organic fertilizer to promote healthy growth and firm heads. Side-dress with additional compost midway through the growing season.
4. Thinning: Thin seedlings to ensure proper spacing between plants, which will help them grow larger and produce better yields.
5. Harvesting: Harvest heads when they are firm and have reached their full size. Cutting the entire plant at the base, leaving a few leaves for regrowth, can sometimes yield smaller secondary heads.
