Planting & Care

Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost date, or sow directly in the garden once the soil can be worked. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix or prepared garden soil. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs within 7–14 days at soil temperatures around 65–75°F. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, thin or transplant them to their final spacing.

Cabbage thrives in cool weather and benefits from regular watering and a layer of mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize with a balanced vegetable fertilizer according to package directions. Watch for common pests like cabbage worms and aphids, and use row covers or appropriate organic controls as needed. Harvest heads when they are firm and reach the desired size, typically before they split. For a continuous supply, sow seeds every 2–3 weeks in spring and again in late summer for a fall crop.
