Planting & Care
Sow Late Flat Dutch Cabbage seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow in early spring or midsummer for a fall crop. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 7-14 days at 65-75°F. Once seedlings have 3-4 true leaves, harden them off and transplant to the garden, spacing 18-24 inches apart in rows 24-36 inches apart.
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 soil test recommendations. Watch for common pests like cabbage worms and aphids, and use row covers or organic controls as needed. Harvest heads when they are firm and fully formed, typically 90-120 days after transplanting, depending on growing conditions.
