Planting & Care

Sow seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost date, or direct sow in the garden when soil can be worked. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist. Seedlings emerge in 7 to 14 days. Once seedlings have two to three true leaves, thin or transplant to 12 to 18 inches apart. For fall crops, start seeds in mid to late summer.

Cabbage requires regular watering and benefits from 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 60 to 75 days after transplanting.
