Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Spring or Fall Planting: Ideal for early spring planting 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 temperature reaches around 50°F (10°C).
Planting Details
- Depth: Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in well-drained, fertile soil.
- Spacing: Space plants about 12 inches apart to ensure proper head development.
- Light: Prefers full sun but can tolerate light shade. At least 6 hours of sunlight per day is ideal.
- Soil: Prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil with a pH range of 6.0-7.0.
Watering and Care
- Water Needs: Keep the soil evenly moist throughout the growing season. Avoid overwatering, as cabbage roots can be sensitive to waterlogged soil.
- Fertilizer: Apply a balanced fertilizer at planting time, and side-dress with compost or slow-release fertilizer midseason for better head development.
- Weeding: Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and prevent weed growth.
- Temperature: Grows best in cooler temperatures, ideally between 55-75°F (13-24°C). It can tolerate light frost, which may improve the flavor.
Harvesting
- When to Harvest: Cabbages are ready to harvest in 60-70 days after transplanting when the heads feel firm and dense.
- How to Harvest: Cut the head off at the base with a sharp knife once it reaches the desired size and firmness.
- Post-Harvest: Store harvested cabbage in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks for maximum freshness.
Perfect For
- Fresh Salads: The tender, sweet leaves of Charleston Wakefield make it an excellent choice for raw dishes like salads and slaw.
- Sautéed and Stir-Fried Dishes: Its mild flavor also shines in stir-fries, sautéed dishes, or lightly cooked meals.
- Smaller Gardens: The compact size of this cabbage makes it perfect for smaller gardens, raised beds, or container gardening.
- Cool-Season Gardens: Its ability to withstand cooler temperatures makes it a great choice for early spring or late fall harvests.
