Planting & Care
Sow Copenhagen Market cabbage seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost, or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Plant seeds ¼ inch deep and keep the soil moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, thin or transplant them to 12-18 inches apart. Cabbage prefers consistent moisture and benefits from a layer of mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer according to package instructions. 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 reach the desired size, typically 60-80 days after planting.
