Planting & Care
Cannonball Cabbage seeds can be started indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or sown directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil evenly moist until germination. Once seedlings have 2-3 true leaves, thin or transplant to the recommended spacing. Cabbage prefers consistent moisture and benefits from a layer of mulch to keep roots cool and suppress weeds.
Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer according to soil test recommendations. Watch for common pests like cabbage worms and aphids, and practice crop rotation to reduce disease pressure. Harvest heads when they are firm and fully formed, typically 70-80 days after planting.
