Planting & Care

Start Golden Acre Cabbage seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last expected frost, or sow directly in the garden in early spring or late summer for a fall crop. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep in a seed-starting mix or prepared garden bed. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once seedlings have two to three true leaves, thin or transplant them to their final spacing. Cabbage prefers cool temperatures and may bolt in extreme heat, so time your planting to avoid the hottest part of summer.

Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, and mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize with a balanced vegetable fertilizer according to package directions. Watch for common cabbage pests such as aphids and cabbage worms, and manage them with row covers or appropriate organic controls. Harvest heads when they are firm and reach the desired size, typically before they split.
