Features
- Cabbage is a cool-weather crop. Grow cabbage in spring so that it comes
- to harvest before the summer heat or start cabbage in mid to late
- summer so that it comes to harvest during the cool days of autumn,
- winter, or early spring. Start seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before the
- last frost in spring. Place cabbage transplants in the garden when
- they are 3 to 4 inches tall as early as 3 to 4 weeks before the last
- frost in spring. Direct sow seed outdoors when the soil can
- be worked in spring. In mild-winter regions, start seed in late
- summer for a winter or spring harvest. WHERE TO GROW
- CABBAGE Grow cabbage in soil rich in organic matter that
- is well-drained. Prepare planting beds ahead of planting
- by covering beds with 2 to 3 inches of aged compost
- or commercial organic planting mix and turning it
- under to 12 inches deep. Cabbage grows best where
- the soil pH is between 6.5 and 6.8. If clubroot disease
- has been a problem, adjust the soil pH to 7.0 or slightly
- higher by adding lime. Add plenty of well-aged compost
- to planting beds before planting. In regions where the
- soil is sandy or where there is heavy rain, supplement
- the soil with nitrogen. Adding a moderate amount
- of nitrogen-rich blood meal or cottonseed meal
- to the soil ahead of planting will enhance leafy growth.
