Plant & Growing Tips
Cabbage
- Sow seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow in spring/late summer.
- Plant in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil, ensuring at least 18-24 inches of spacing between plants.
- Keep the soil consistently moist, especially as heads begin to form, to prevent splitting.
Natural Pest Control
- Use row covers over young cabbage plants to protect them from cabbage worms and flea beetles.
- Hand-pick slugs and snails from leaves, especially in the evening, or use organic slug pellets.
- Plant companion herbs like dill or thyme nearby to deter common cabbage pests.
Harvest
Cabbage
- Harvest when the head is firm and dense to the touch, usually 70-100 days after planting.
- Cut the stem at ground level with a sharp knife, leaving outer leaves to potentially produce smaller secondary heads.
- Leaving cabbage on the plant too long can cause the head to split, especially after heavy rain.
