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.
