Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Cool-Season Crop: Best planted in early spring or late summer for fall harvest.
- Timing: Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost or sow directly outdoors after the last frost.
Planting Details
- Depth: Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in well-drained, fertile soil.
- Spacing: Space plants 18-24 inches apart to allow for proper growth and head formation.
- Light: Prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Ensure the plants receive at least 6 hours of sunlight per day for optimal growth.
- Soil: Thrives in slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.0).
Watering and Care
- Water Needs: Keep the soil evenly moist throughout the growing season, particularly during dry spells. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely.
- Fertilizer: Use a balanced fertilizer or compost before planting. Side-dress with additional fertilizer during the growing season to promote healthy growth and a strong head.
- Weeding: Mulch around the base of the plants to suppress weeds and maintain moisture levels.
- Temperature: Savoy cabbage prefers cooler temperatures between 55-75°F (13-24°C). It can tolerate light frost, which can even improve its flavor.
Harvesting
- When to Harvest: Typically ready for harvest in 70-85 days after transplanting, depending on growing conditions.
- How to Harvest: Harvest when the head feels firm and compact. Use a sharp knife to cut the head at the base.
- Post-Harvest: After harvesting, remove any damaged or yellow leaves. Store cabbage heads in the refrigerator, where they will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks.
