Growing Cabbage

When to Plant Cabbage - Cold crop – these are starter plants.  An early variety is good to plant.  If you have room, then plant again at mid-season.  Check days on tags in pots.

How to Plant Cabbage - Plant 14 to 18 inches apart

After Planting Cabbage - These can be ornery.  I dust with an organic dust called Dipel (yes, I have extra to sell).  The white butter flies are the insects that cause the problems.  They lay eggs on the plants and then the green larva eats the cabbage.

Harvesting Cabbage - Keep track of days from planting.  That works to know when to pick.  To check if ready to harvest heads of cabbage, put your hand on the head an if it feels hard, it's ready to pick.  After you cut it off stem, peel outer leaves to get to a nice head.  Put in cold water to crisp up.  You then put in fridge to continue chilling or prepare it for dinner!
