Planting & Care
Sow Earliana cabbage seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date, or direct sow in the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Keep the soil evenly moist during germination, which typically takes 7-14 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, thin or transplant them to their final spacing. For a fall crop, start seeds in mid-summer.
Cabbage requires consistent moisture and benefits from a layer of mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize with a balanced organic fertilizer according to package directions. Watch for common pests like cabbage worms and aphids, and use row covers or hand-pick as needed. Harvest heads when they are firm and reach the desired size, typically before they split.
