Growing Cabbage
Growing Cabbage
- When planting spring cabbage, it is recommended to sow the seeds approximately 4 weeks before the final frost date.
- Make sure to space out your cabbage plants properly to allow for optimal growth and development.
- Ensure that the chosen location receives a minimum of 6 hours of sunlight each day. Plant the seeds at a depth of 1 to 2 inches in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil with a pH level between 6.5 and 6.8.
- Upgrade the existing soil conditions by incorporating several inches of compost or other organic matter.
- Maintain proper hydration for plants by providing them with 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week.
- Utilize a 3-inch layer of mulch to effectively retain moisture and suppress weed growth.
- For best results, it is recommended to harvest cabbage in the early morning when the head is firm.
