Sow seeds 1\/4 inch deep and keep the soil moist until germination. Once seedlings have 2-3 true leaves, thin or transplant them to their final spacing. Cabbage prefers consistent moisture and benefits from a layer of mulch to keep the soil cool and moist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFertilize with a balanced vegetable fertilizer according to package instructions. Watch for common pests like cabbage worms and aphids, and use row covers or other appropriate controls as needed. Harvest heads when they are firm and fully colored, typically 80-100 days after transplanting.
