Planting & Care
Sow Golden Acre Cabbage seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost, or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix or well-prepared garden soil. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs within 7-14 days at temperatures around 65-75°F (18-24°C).
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 every few weeks. Harvest heads when they are firm and before they begin to split. For a continuous supply, succession plant every 2-3 weeks.
