Sow Matsushima Napa Cabbage seeds directly in the garden or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and keep soil consistently moist until germination. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to allow heads to develop properly. For best results, provide regular watering and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Napa cabbage prefers cool temperatures and can bolt in heat, so time plantings for spring or fall. Harvest heads when firm and compact, or pick outer leaves for continuous use. Monitor for common pests like aphids and cabbage worms, and use row covers if necessary.
