Tips & Best Practices
- Start indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost, transplant 2–3 weeks before.
- Cabbage is a heavy feeder — amend soil with compost and provide steady nitrogen.
- Consistent watering prevents heads from splitting.
- A fall crop often produces larger, sweeter heads than spring plantings.
