Growing Guide for Cabbages:
Location:
Plant your cabbage seedlings in a sunny spot that receives at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day.
Soil:
Choose well-draining, fertile soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 6.8. Work in organic matter like compost to enrich the soil.
Planting:
- Space your cabbage seedlings 12-24 inches apart in rows that are 24-36 inches apart.
- Plant the seedlings at the same depth they were in their containers, ensuring the crown is level with the soil surface.
Care:
- Water your cabbage plants consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
- Mulch around the cabbage plants to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds.
- Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer when the plants reach about half their mature size.
- Watch for common cabbage pests like aphids and cabbage worms, and use appropriate pest control methods if necessary.
Harvest:
You can start harvesting cabbage when the heads feel firm and have reached the desired size. Use a sharp knife to cut the cabbage heads just above the base.
