Planting Instructions

Planting Season

• Spring or Fall Planting: Best planted in early spring after the last frost or in late summer for a fall harvest.
• Timing: Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost or sow directly outdoors once the soil reaches about 50°F (10°C).

Planting Details

• Depth: Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in rich, well-drained soil.
• Spacing: Space plants about 12-18 inches apart to ensure good airflow and proper head development.
• Light: Prefers full sun, but it can tolerate light shade. Ensure the plants get at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth.
• Soil: Thrives in slightly acidic to neutral soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0.

Watering and Care

• Water Needs: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the early growth phase. Water regularly to ensure steady head formation.
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced fertilizer at planting time, and use a side-dressing of compost or organic fertilizer during the growing season for better growth.
• Weeding: Mulch around the plants to keep the soil moist and minimize weed growth.
• Temperature: Prefers cool temperatures, typically between 55-75°F (13-24°C). It can tolerate light frosts, which may even improve the flavor.

Harvesting

• When to Harvest: Cabbage heads are ready to harvest in 60-70 days after transplanting when they feel firm and dense.
• How to Harvest: Cut the head off at the base with a sharp knife when it reaches full size.
• Post-Harvest: Store cabbage heads in a cool, dry place, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
