Planting & Care
Start Golden Acre cabbage seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last expected frost date. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in a seed-starting mix, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. Maintain a temperature of 65–75°F for germination, which typically occurs in 7–14 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, harden them off gradually before transplanting into the garden.
Set transplants outdoors when daytime temperatures are consistently above 45°F. Space plants 12–18 inches apart to allow for proper head development. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, and apply a balanced fertilizer or compost at planting time. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Watch for common cabbage pests such as aphids and cabbage worms, and harvest heads when they are firm and fully formed.
