Planting & Care

Sow Early Jersey Wakefield cabbage seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date, or directly in the garden in early spring or late summer for a fall crop. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix or well-prepared garden soil. Keep the soil evenly moist and maintain a temperature of 65-75°F for optimal germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days.

Once seedlings have 2-3 true leaves, thin or transplant them to their final spacing. Provide consistent moisture and mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly with a balanced organic fertilizer if needed. Watch for common pests like cabbage worms and aphids, and use row covers or organic controls as necessary. Harvest heads when they are firm and compact for the best flavor.
