Planting & Care
Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date, or sow directly in the garden once the soil can be worked. For fall crops, sow seeds in late summer. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil evenly moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to allow heads to develop properly.
Napa cabbage requires consistent moisture and benefits from a layer of mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize with a balanced organic fertilizer every few weeks. Watch for common pests like aphids and cabbage worms, and use row covers or organic controls as needed. Harvest heads when they are firm and fully formed, typically 60-80 days after planting.
